Preparation Steps

1

Prepare Jasmine Rice

Rinse the jasmine rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Add the rice to a pot with 2 cups of water and a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes or until the water is absorbed. Fluff with a fork and set aside.

2

Make Kiftah Mixture

In a large bowl, combine ground beef, garlic powder, cumin, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined. Form the mixture into small patties or kebabs.

3

Cook Kiftah

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

4

Sauté Onions

Slice the onion thinly and sauté in a skillet with a little olive oil over medium heat. Once the onions are softened, sprinkle with sumac and continue to sauté for another 2-3 minutes.

5

Serve

On a large platter, serve a bed of jasmine rice topped with grilled kiftah, sautéed sumac onions, and a side of tahini sauce. Garnish with parsley.
