# Ingredients:
→ Main Ingredients
01 -
600 grams lean ground beef
02 -
1 cup parsley, fresh and dried off after washing
03 -
1 medium onion, yellow, chopped into quarters
04 -
1 teaspoon of salt
05 -
¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper (add more if you like it spicy)
06 -
¼ teaspoon of black pepper
07 -
¼ teaspoon of a pre-mixed seven spices blend
# Instructions:
01 -
Throw the parsley and onion quarters into your food processor bowl. Hit the pulse button a few times till both are finely minced.
02 -
In a big bowl, dump in the ground beef, the parsley-onion mix, and all the seasonings. Use your hands to mash it all together until it’s completely mixed.
03 -
Grab a handful of the mix, press it firmly onto a skewer, and shape it into a long, thick tube about 1-1.5 inches wide.
04 -
For grilling, get your charcoal or gas grill ready. Turn your gas grill to medium-high heat and oil the grates beforehand. Lay the kafta skewers on and cook for about 4 minutes per side, or until the meat’s fully done.
05 -
Bring it to the table and eat right away.
# Notes:
01 -
Leave wooden skewers soaking in water for a half hour first.
02 -
If you don't have a seven spice mix, swap it for allspice.
03 -
Skip skewers—shape the mix into patties instead if you want.
04 -
Bake them at 375°F for 15-20 minutes if you’re not grilling.
05 -
Keep leftovers for 3-4 days in the fridge or up to 3 months in the freezer.
