Step‑by‑Step Instructions for Kafta Kebabs
- Begin by finely chopping the medium yellow onion and fresh parsley in a food processor until they are well blended. This step is crucial as it infuses the Kafta Kebabs with moisture and flavor.
- In a large bowl, combine the lean ground beef with the chopped onion and parsley mixture, along with salt, black pepper, seven spice blend, and cayenne pepper. Knead and mix the ingredients thoroughly for around 5 minutes.
- Take handfuls of the beef mixture and mold it around the soaked wooden skewers, aiming for about 1 to 1.5 inches thick. Shape uniformly for even cooking, this will take approximately 10 minutes.
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (around 400°F) and lightly oil the grill surface. Allow about 5-7 minutes for the grill to reach the ideal temperature.
- Place the formed Kafta Kebabs on the grill and cook for about 4 minutes on each side, ensuring even grilling until the internal temperature reads 160°F, which should take around 8-10 minutes.
- Once grilled to perfection, remove the Kafta Kebabs from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes before serving with fresh pita, hummus, or a crisp salad.
