Provided by Yumna Jawad

Categories     Main Course

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 10

¼ cup parsley
1 small yellow onion (quartered)
1 pound ground beef
2 teaspoons 7 spice
½ teaspoon cumin
½ teaspoon cinnamon
½ teaspoon coriander
⅛ teaspoon cayenne pepper
½ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon black pepper (to taste)

Steps:

  • Place the parsley in the bowl of a food processor and pulse until finely chopped, remove and set aside.
  • In the same food processor bowl used to chop the parsley, place the quartered onion and pulse until finely chopped. Drain the onions slightly to release excess moisture.
  • Return the parsley back to the bowl of the food processor with the onions. Add the ground beef to the food processor in addition to all the spices. Run the food processor on pulse once or twice until ingredients are well combined and form a pasty meat mixture.
  • Transfer the mixture from the food processor to a large bowl and form the Kafta into an oblong shape about 1 inch in thickness. You can form them on a wooden skewer or without.
  • Grease the grates of a gas grill or indoor grill pan, and preheat it to medium high heat. When heated through, transfer the kafta to the grill. Grill for 4-5 minutes per side, depending on your preferred level of doneness.
  • Serve hot off the grill with your choice of side.

CHEF JOHN'S KOFTA KEBABS



Chef John's Kofta Kebabs image

I'm excited to share what is one of my all-time favorite things to grill. This is perfect for those times when you want to take a break from grilling burgers, but you also kinda want a grilled burger, since this is basically a Mediterranean-style meatball on a stick. I know "shish" gets more love, but "kofta" might be the best kebab. Serve over a tomato, onion, and cucumber salad with flatbread or pita and a lemony tahini dressing.

Provided by Chef John

Categories     BBQ & Grilled Beef Skewers and Kabobs

Time 1h30m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 slice whole grain bread, toasted
½ medium yellow onion, diced
⅓ cup chopped Italian parsley
4 cloves garlic, minced
8 ounces ground beef
4 ounces ground lamb
1 ¼ teaspoons kosher salt
½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
½ teaspoon ground allspice
½ teaspoon paprika
¼ teaspoon ground cardamom
⅛ teaspoon ground nutmeg
¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper
2 tablespoons water
4 bamboo skewers, soaked for at least 1 hour

Steps:

  • Cut toasted bread slice into thin strips on a cutting board; cut strips across into a small dice.
  • Place onion, parsley, and garlic on top of diced bread on the cutting board; chop until mixture resembles tabbouleh.
  • Season beef and lamb with kosher salt, black pepper, allspice, paprika, cardamom, nutmeg, and cayenne. Add onion mixture and water. Mix and mash with your hands until well combined.
  • Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate until chilled, at least 1 hour, up to overnight.
  • Remove meat from the refrigerator and roll ¼ of the mixture into a ball using wet hands. Pierce in the middle with a bamboo skewer. Shape meat into a uniform log, about 6 inches long and 2 inches wide.
  • Meanwhile, preheat a charcoal grill until coals are very hot.
  • Place kebabs on the hot grill until browned and cooked through, about 12 minutes, turning every 3 minutes or so. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center of a kebab should read at least 145 degrees F (63 degrees C). Serve.
