Ingredients

Units Scale

Ingredients for Kafta Kebabs:

  • 1 medium yellow onion, quartered
  • 1 cup fresh parsley, washed and patted dry
  • 600 grams lean ground beef
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon seven spice pre-mixed spice blend
  • 1/8 teaspoon cayenne, more to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Onion and Parsley: In the bowl of your food processor, add quartered onion and fresh parsley. Process by pulsing the ingredients until finely chopped.
  2. Mix the Kafta: To a large mixing bowl, add ground beef, finely chopped parsley and onion mixture, and all of the spices. Using your hands, mix the ingredients thoroughly.
  3. Form the Kebabs: Take some of the mixture with your hands and mold it around the skewer. The meat around the skewer should be about an inch to an inch and a half thick.
  4. Grill the Kafta: Prepare your charcoal or gas grill. If using a gas grill, preheat it to medium-high and brush the grill with oil. Place skewers of kafta on the grill. Cook one side for about 4 minutes before turning it over and cooking for another 4 minutes or until the meat is cooked through.
  5. Serve: Serve the Kafta Kebabs immediately.
