  • Total Time: 0 hours

Ingredients

– 1 pound ground beef or lamb
– 1 medium onion, finely grated
– 1/4 cup fresh parsley, finely chopped
– 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, finely chopped
– 2 cloves garlic, minced
– 1 teaspoon ground cumin
– 1 teaspoon ground coriander
– 1 teaspoon allspice
– 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
– Salt and black pepper to taste
– 1 tablespoon olive oil (for brushing)


Instructions

Creating Lebanese Kafta Kebabs is both fun and rewarding. Follow these simple steps to make your own delicious kebabs:

1. Combine Ingredients: In a large bowl, mix the ground meat, grated onion, parsley, cilantro, minced garlic, cumin, coriander, allspice, cinnamon, salt, and pepper until well incorporated.
2. Knead the Mixture: Knead the mixture with your hands for a few minutes to ensure proper texture and flavor distribution.
3. Shape the Kebabs: Wet your hands slightly and divide the meat mixture into equal portions. Shape each portion into a long, flat kebab, about 1 inch wide.
4. Prep Skewers: If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for about 30 minutes to prevent burning. If using metal skewers, you can skip this step.
5. Skewer the Kebabs: Gently thread the shaped kebabs onto the skewers, pressing down to secure them.
6. Preheat the Grill: Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Lightly brush it with olive oil to prevent sticking.
7. Grill the Kebabs: Place the skewered kebabs on the grill. Cook for about 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally, until they are cooked through and have nice grill marks.
8. Rest the Kebabs: Once cooked, remove them from the grill and let them rest for about 5-10 minutes to maintain moisture.
9. Serve: Serve the kebabs with your favorite sides or sauces.

Following these steps will allow you to master the art of making Lebanese Kafta Kebabs effortlessly.
