Instructions

  1. Soak the wooden skewers in a tray with water while you prepare the recipe.
  2. Place all the ingredients in a large bowl. Mix them by hand until all the mixture is well-combined.
  3. Wrap the meat mixture around the wooden stick, creating about 1-inch of thickness and leaving 2-3 inches of space empty at the bottom.
  4. Preheat the grill to medium-high heat and brush grill grates with oil. Grill the kafta kabobs for about 8-10 minutes, turning the skewer every few minutes to create grill marks on all sides.
  5. Remove the kafta kabobs from the grill and let them rest for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
