Moroccan Kofta Kebab Recipes

MOROCCAN KOFTA KEBAB RECIPE

Steps:

• In a large bowl, mix your ground beef with all the ingredients until well-combined. Place it in the refrigerator and let it marinate for at least 10 minutes (1 hour is best)
• Remove the excess moisture from the meat mixture using a colander
• One way to use your homemade Kefta is to shape it into patties. My favorite way is to use skewers. If you use wooden skewers, watch closely to make sure they don't burn.
• Use the top rack of the oven and preheat the broiler. Line a sheet pan with foil and place a wire rack on it. Place the patties on the wire rack and broil for 10-15 minutes, or until cooked through and browned. If you have a grill, use it! It will make the tastiest Kafta. You can also fry your patties in a pan or skillet
• You can serve your Kefta with fresh bread and a few salads
• This Kefta can be frozen for your busy days. Just place the patties in a freezer bag and freeze for up to 2 months

Steps:

• Mash the garlic into a paste with the salt using a mortar and pestle or the flat side of a chef's knife on your cutting board. Mix the garlic into the lamb along with the onion, parsley, coriander, cumin, cinnamon, allspice, cayenne pepper, ginger, and pepper in a mixing bowl until well blended. Form the mixture into 28 balls. Form each ball around the tip of a skewer, flattening into a 2 inch oval; repeat with the remaining skewers. Place the kebabs onto a baking sheet, cover, and refrigerate at least 30 minutes, or up to 12 hours.
• Preheat an outdoor grill for medium heat, and lightly oil grate.
• Cook the skewers on the preheated grill, turning occasionally, until the lamb has cooked to your desired degree of doneness, about 6 minutes for medium.
