Ingredients
- 2 lbs lean ground beef 90/10 is best
- 1 medium onion grated
- 1/3 cup parsley chopped
- 4 garlic cloves minced
- 2 tsp sea salt
- 1 tsp cumin
- 1 tsp oregano
- 1 tsp sumac
- 1/3 tsp cinnamon
Instructions
- Soak the wooden skewers in a tray with water while you prepare the recipe.
- Place all the ingredients in a large bowl. Mix them by hand until all the mixture is well-combined.
- 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.
- 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.
- Remove the kafta kabobs from the grill and let them rest for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
