Description

Tantalize your taste buds with these tender and juicy meat kebabs that are popular for a reason!

Ingredients
 

  • 1 kg 2 lb 4 oz minced lamb or beef, preferably lamb with 20% fat content
  • 1 cup finely chopped fresh parsley leaves stems discarded
  • 2 yellow or red onions finely chopped
  • 1 tablespoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon allspice
  • ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • A dash of cayenne pepper or chili flakes

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the grill to high heat.
  • In a large bowl, combine the minced meat, onions, parsley, allspice, black pepper, salt, and cayenne pepper. Before adding the onions and parsley to the meat, squeeze them firmly between your palms to remove excess moisture. Mix everything thoroughly until the ingredients are evenly incorporated.
  • Divide the mixture into 15 equal portions, each about the size of a golf ball. Insert a skewer into each portion and use your palms to shape the meat around it into a long, even log.
  • Repeat with the remaining portions.
  • Grill the kafta skewers to your desired doneness, turning them as needed until nicely browned and cooked through. Serve hot with hummus and grilled tomatoes.
