Instructions
Creating delicious Kafta BBQ skewers is quite easy! Follow these simple steps:
1. Prep the Skewers: If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 30 minutes to prevent burning.
2. Mix the Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the ground meat, grated onion, minced garlic, parsley, cumin, coriander, cinnamon, allspice, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper.
3. Add Olive Oil: Drizzle in the olive oil, mixing well until all ingredients are fully incorporated.
4. Shape the Mixture: Take a handful of the meat mixture and form it around the skewer, flattening it slightly to create a thick, even layer. Repeat for all skewers.
5. Preheat the Grill: Heat your grill to medium-high heat. A hot grill is key for getting a nice char on the kafta.
6. Grill the Skewers: Place the skewers on the grill and cook for 5-6 minutes on each side or until they achieve a nice brown color and are cooked through.
7. Rest the Skewers: Remove from the grill and let them rest for 5-10 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.
8. Serve: Optionally, garnish with more fresh parsley or sliced onions for a vibrant touch.
These simple steps will have you grilling up some amazing Kafta BBQ skewers with minimal effort!
