Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Prepare the Kafta Mixture

    In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, chopped onion, parsley, garlic, cumin, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly combined.

  2. 2

    Shape the Kafta

    Divide the mixture into equal portions and shape them into oval patties or skewers.

  3. 3

    Grill the Kafta

    Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Brush with olive oil and grill the kafta patties for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked and slightly charred.

  4. 4

    Prepare the Side Dishes

    While the kafta is grilling, prepare the rice according to package instructions, and set aside. Arrange the chopped salad of lettuce, tomato, and cucumber in a bowl.

  5. 5

    Assemble the Platter

    On a large serving plate, place the grilled kafta, a portion of hummus, cooked rice, and the salad. Serve with Lebanese pita on the side.
