Charcoal-Style Beef Kofta

✓ USDA-verified nutrition data

Ingredients

• 1.5 lb Ground beef
• 1 Onion
• 1/2 cup Parsley
• 3 cloves Garlic
• 2 tsp Baharat
• 1 tsp Cumin
• 1 tbsp Olive oil

Steps

1. Grate the onion and squeeze it completely dry in a towel — wet onion is the number one kofta killer.
2. Mix the beef with the dry onion, chopped parsley, garlic, baharat, cumin, and 2 teaspoons of salt, just until combined; overworking makes them dense.
3. Wet your hands and mold into 8 fat logs around skewers, or into oblong patties.
4. Chill 15 minutes so they hold together over the heat.
5. Grill or broil 4 minutes per side, until charred outside and just blushing inside.
6. Rest 5 minutes, then serve with lemon and extra parsley.
