Servings: 4
- 1 ½ lbs ground beef regular is juicier, but lean will do
- ¼ cup minced fresh parsley
- ¼ cup minced fresh mint
- ½ cup grated onion
- 1 tbsp minced garlic
- 1 ½ teaspoons ground coriander
- 1 ½ teaspoons ground cumin
- ½ teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 ¼ tsp kosher salt
- ½ tsp black pepper
Preheat grill to medium-high heat. Soak wooden skewers in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning.
In a bowl, mix together the ground beef, parsley, mint, onion, garlic, coriander, cumin, cinnamon, salt, and pepper until well combined.
Divide the mixture into equal portions of about 3 tbsp and shape each portion into a long sausage-like shape (you can do it freeform or around a skewer).
Grill the kafta kabobs for 4-5 minutes on each side or until they reach 165ºF internal temperature.
