Ingredients
1 medium yellow onion, quartered
1 cup fresh parsley, washed and patted dry
600 grams ground beef (lean)
1 teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon black pepper
¼ teaspoon seven spice (Middle Eastern spice blend)
⅛ teaspoon cayenne pepper (more to taste)
Instructions
Add the quartered onion and fresh parsley to a food processor. Pulse until very finely chopped.
Transfer the mixture to a large bowl. Add the ground beef, salt, black pepper, seven spice, and cayenne.
Using your hands, mix thoroughly until all ingredients are well combined.
Divide the mixture and mold it evenly around skewers, forming kebabs about 1–1½ inches thick.
Preheat a charcoal or gas grill to medium-high heat and lightly oil the grates.
Grill the kafta kebabs for about 4 minutes per side, turning once, until cooked through and nicely charred.
Remove from the grill and serve immediately.
Notes
If the mixture feels too loose, refrigerate it for 10–15 minutes before shaping the kebabs.
Kafta can also be cooked on a stovetop grill pan or baked in the oven at 400°F (200°C) for about 15–18 minutes.
Serve with pita bread, hummus, garlic sauce, or a fresh salad.
