Lebanese Kafta (Beef or Lamb)

• porții: 4 servings
• timp activ: 15 minutes
• timp total: 27 minutes

Ingrediente

1 lb lean ground beef (or ground lamb)

1 cup yellow onion (diced, See Note 1)

1/2 cup flat leaf parsley (chopped)

2 tsp Lebanese 7 spice

1 1/2 tsp kosher salt

1/2 tsp black pepper

1 tbsp olive oil (only if cooking in skillet)

1 large tomato or 2-3 Plum or Romas (sliced)

Instrucțiuni

Put the ground beef in a large bowl with the chopped onion, parsley, Lebanese Spice Blend, salt and pepper. Mix thoroughly using hands.

Divide the meat mixture into 6 to 10 patties or long fat fingers depending on the size you prefer. Feel free to use skewers if you like or grill without.

If grilling, clean and oil the grill. Grill on medium heat for 10-12 minutes. Make sure to keep turning the kafta to get grill marks on all sides (See Note 2). If using a skillet over medium heat, cook and brown on all sides (8-10 minutes).

If desired, add sliced tomato to the grill and cook along with the meat for a few more minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Serve immediately with rice, salad, wrapped in a lavash (flatbread) or khubz (pita).
