Authentic 3-Ingredients Lebanese Kafta
Simple and delicious Kafta Kebabs made the traditional way with just three main ingredients you likely already have at home: ground meat, onions, and parsley!
Ingredients
- 400 g Ground Meat beef or lamb
- 2 Medium Onions or 1 Large Onion
- 40 g Fresh Parsley about 1 sprig, uncut
- 1/2 tsp Salt
- 1/8 tsp Black Pepper
Instructions
- Start by roughly chopping the onions. Use 2 medium onions or 1 large onion.
- Place the onions in a food processor or blender and blend them until finely minced. Squeeze out excess water using paper towels.
- Wash the parsley and pick the leaves from the stems. Roughly chop, then finely mince using a rocking motion with your knife.
- In a large bowl, combine ground meat, minced onions, parsley, salt, and black pepper. Wear gloves (as the smell will stick to your hands) and use your hands to mix the ingredients thoroughly until well combined.
- Take a handful of the mixture and roll it around a skewer. Shape it by pressing and turning until even.
- Grill the kafta on medium heat for about 5–7 minutes on each side. You can also cook them in the oven or on a BBQ; In these two cases, soak the skewers in water for 30 minutes before adding on the Kefta (if you are using wooden skewers - to prevent them from burning).
