Method

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Kofte Mixture

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the minced beef, minced lamb, finely chopped onion, minced garlic, chopped parsley, cumin powder, paprika, black pepper, and salt. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.

  2. 2

    Shape the Kofte

    Divide the mixture into equal portions and shape each portion into an oval patty or roll, about the size of your palm.

  3. 3

    Skewer the Kofte

    Thread the shaped kofte onto the skewers, pressing them firmly to ensure they stay in place.

  4. 4

    Preheat the Grill

    Preheat your grill or barbecue to medium-high heat. Brush the grill grates with olive oil to prevent sticking.

  5. 5

    Grill the Kofte

    Place the skewers on the grill and cook for about 6-8 minutes on each side, or until the kofte are cooked through and have a nice char.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Remove the kofte from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes before serving. Serve hot with your choice of side dishes, such as rice, salad, or pita bread.
