Kefta

INGREDIENTS

• 1 lb ground beef

• 1 lb ground lamb

• 1 large onion, grated

• 2 cloves of garlic, grated

• 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, finely chopped

• 1/4 cup fresh parsley, finely chopped

• 1 Tbsp fresh mint, finely chopped

• 3 tsp paprika

• 1 1/2 tsp ground cumin

• 2 tsp kosher salt

• 1/2 tsp pepper

• 1/2 tsp cayenne pepper

INSTRUCTIONS

1. In a large bowl combine all ingredients with your hands. Don’t over work the meat.

2. Form ground meat into 2-3 Tbsp balls.

3. Heat a non-stick grill pan over medium heat. No need for oil as the meat is pretty fatty. If using lean meat, start the pan with a Tbsp of canola oil.

4. Place balls are on the pan and press down to form a patty.

5. Fry in batches, 2-3 minutes on each side.

You could also wrap the meat around skewers and grill on a BBQ.
