Beef Kifta Plate Recipe

Cooking Instructions

1. 1

   Prepare the Kifta

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

2. 2

   Shape the Kifta

   Shape the mixture into long, oval patties or skewers, about 4-5 inches long.

3. 3

   Grill the Kifta

   Preheat the grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Brush the grill with olive oil to prevent sticking. Grill the kifta for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked and browned.

4. 4

   Cook the Rice

   In a saucepan, add 2 cups of water and bring to a boil. Add the rice and a pinch of salt, then reduce the heat to low. Cover and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the rice is tender and the water is absorbed.

5. 5

   Prepare the Green Beans

   In a separate pot, bring water to a boil. Add the green beans and cook for about 5-7 minutes until tender but still crisp. Drain and set aside.

6. 6

   Make the Garlic Yogurt

   In a small bowl, mix the plain yogurt with minced garlic and lemon juice. Season with salt to taste.

7. 7

   Prepare the Salad

   In a serving bowl, combine diced cucumber and tomato. Drizzle with olive oil, season with salt and pepper, and toss to combine.

8. 8

   Warm the Pita

   Warm the pita bread on the grill or in a toaster.

9. 9

   Serve

   On a plate, serve the grilled kifta alongside the rice, green beans, garlic yogurt, salad, and warm pita.
