Lebanese Kafta Kebabs (Print Version)
# Ingredients:
→ Main Items
01 -
600 grams lean ground beef
02 -
1 teaspoon of salt
03 -
¼ teaspoon of seven spice blend (ready-made)
04 -
⅛ teaspoon cayenne pepper, or more if you like it hotter
05 -
1 medium yellow onion, cut into quarters
06 -
¼ teaspoon black pepper
07 -
1 cup parsley, freshly washed and dried
# Instructions:
01 -
Toss the parsley and onion quarters into your food processor. Pulse it until you’ve got super fine bits.
02 -
Put the ground beef in a big bowl. Add in the onion and parsley mix along with all the spices. Give it a good mix using your hands to make it all come together.
03 -
Grab some meat mixture, press it around a skewer, and shape it into about 1 to 1.5-inch thickness along the stick.
04 -
When using a gas grill, set it to medium-high and lightly oil the grates. If you’ve got a charcoal grill, prep that instead. Cook the skewers for around 4 minutes per side, flipping once, until the meat’s fully cooked.
05 -
Serve hot right after cooking.
# Notes:
01 -
Soaking wooden skewers in water for half an hour helps prevent them from burning.
02 -
You can swap out seven spice with allspice if needed.
03 -
No skewers? Shape them into patties instead.
04 -
Bake them in the oven at 375°F for about 15-20 minutes as an alternative.
05 -
Store leftovers in the fridge for 3-4 days or freeze up to 3 months.
