Ingredients
- 1 pound ground sirloin (or lamb or mixture of both)
- 1 cup parsley
- 1 medium onion
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon pepper
- ½ teaspoon cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon nutmeg
- ⅛ teaspoon allspice
- extra virgin olive oil (as needed)
Tahini Sauce
- ¼ cup Tahini
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 clove garlic (minced)
- ½ teaspoon salt
- warm water
- pita bread, onion slices, tomato slices (optional, to serve)
Instructions
- Drizzle olive oil on a large baking sheet and set aside.
- Place the parsley and onion in a high-speed food processor and pulse until finely minced.
- Add beef and spices to the food processor and pulse until the meat mixture is smooth. Tip: if it has a hard time coming together, add a couple of tablespoons of ice water (it's ok to even add in an ice cube!) Remove mixture from the food processor and shape into 8 long kebabs. Place on the oil-lined baking sheet until you're ready to grill or broil.
- Pre-heat grill or broiler to high heat. Grill for 7-8 minutes, turning every couple minutes, for medium level beef. If you prefer medium rare, remove sooner. If you prefer well done, leave on a little longer.
- While beef is cooking, whisk together tahini sauce in a small bowl. Add warm water, one tablespoon at a time, until the sauce is smooth and creamy. Serve with warm kafta kebabs.
Notes
- Serving includes 2 tablespoons tahini sauce. Pita bread additional.
