Koobideh Kabob Ingredients

Method

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Marinade

    In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, grated onion, minced garlic, salt, black pepper, turmeric powder, ground cumin, and chopped parsley. Mix well until all ingredients are thoroughly combined.

  2. 2

    Shape the Kabobs

    Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let the mixture marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, or overnight for best results. Once marinated, shape the beef mixture into long, flat kebabs on skewers.

  3. 3

    Cook the Kabobs

    Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Brush the skewers with olive oil and grill the kabobs for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until cooked through and slightly charred.

  4. 4

    Serve

    Serve the koobideh kabobs with Afghan rice and your choice of side salad or yogurt sauce.
