Kofta is a popular dish in Middle Eastern cuisine, often made with ground meat and spices, and is enjoyed in various forms across different cultures.

Ingredients

  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 1/2 cup finely chopped onion
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
  • 1 tsp ground cumin
  • 1 tsp ground coriander
  • 1/2 tsp paprika
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper (optional)
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • Skewers (if grilling)

Instructions

  1. 1In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, chopped onion, minced garlic, parsley, cumin, coriander, paprika, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper (if using).
  2. 2Mix the ingredients thoroughly until well combined.
  3. 3Cover the mixture and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
  4. 4Preheat your grill or oven to medium-high heat.
  5. 5If using skewers, shape the beef mixture into oval-shaped patties or mold them around the skewers.
  6. 6Brush the skewers or patties lightly with olive oil to prevent sticking.
  7. 7Grill the kofta for about 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally, until they are cooked through and have a nice char.
  8. 8Alternatively, you can bake the kofta in the oven at 400°F (200°C) for 15-20 minutes, or until fully cooked.
  9. 9Serve the kofta hot with pita bread, yogurt sauce, or a fresh salad.
