Grilled Kafta Skewers

Grilled Kafta Skewers are a deliciously seasoned Lebanese dish made with ground meat and spices, perfect for a satisfying keto lunch. Juicy and flavorful, these skewers bring a taste of the Mediterranean to your table.

Ingredients

• Ground beef - 300 grams
• Ground lamb - 100 grams
• Onion - 1 medium, finely grated (about 70 grams)
• Garlic - 3 cloves, minced
• Parsley - 2 tablespoons, finely chopped
• Cilantro - 2 tablespoons, finely chopped
• Allspice - 1 teaspoon
• Cinnamon - 1/2 teaspoon
• Salt - 1 teaspoon
• Black pepper - 1/2 teaspoon
• Olive oil - 1 tablespoon (for brushing)
• Skewers - 4 (if using wooden, soak in water for 30 minutes)

Steps

1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, ground lamb, grated onion, minced garlic, chopped parsley, chopped cilantro, allspice, cinnamon, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are thoroughly combined.
2. Divide the meat mixture into 4 equal portions and mold each portion around a skewer, pressing firmly to ensure the meat adheres to the skewer.
3. Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Lightly brush the skewers with olive oil to prevent sticking.
4. Place the skewers on the grill and cook for about 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally, until the kafta is cooked through and has nice grill marks.
5. Once cooked, remove the skewers from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes. Serve warm with a side of your choice.
