CHEF JOHN'S KOFTA KEBABS



Chef John's Kofta Kebabs image

I'm excited to share what is one of my all-time favorite things to grill. This is perfect for those times when you want to take a break from grilling burgers, but you also kinda want a grilled burger, since this is basically a Mediterranean-style meatball on a stick. I know "shish" gets more love, but "kofta" might be the best kebab. Serve over a tomato, onion, and cucumber salad with flatbread or pita and a lemony tahini dressing.

Categories     BBQ & Grilled Beef Skewers and Kabobs

Time 1h30m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 slice whole grain bread, toasted
½ medium yellow onion, diced
⅓ cup chopped Italian parsley
4 cloves garlic, minced
8 ounces ground beef
4 ounces ground lamb
1 ¼ teaspoons kosher salt
½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
½ teaspoon ground allspice
½ teaspoon paprika
¼ teaspoon ground cardamom
⅛ teaspoon ground nutmeg
¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper
2 tablespoons water
4 bamboo skewers, soaked for at least 1 hour

Steps:

  • Cut toasted bread slice into thin strips on a cutting board; cut strips across into a small dice.
  • Place onion, parsley, and garlic on top of diced bread on the cutting board; chop until mixture resembles tabbouleh.
  • Season beef and lamb with kosher salt, black pepper, allspice, paprika, cardamom, nutmeg, and cayenne. Add onion mixture and water. Mix and mash with your hands until well combined.
  • Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate until chilled, at least 1 hour, up to overnight.
  • Remove meat from the refrigerator and roll ¼ of the mixture into a ball using wet hands. Pierce in the middle with a bamboo skewer. Shape meat into a uniform log, about 6 inches long and 2 inches wide.
  • Meanwhile, preheat a charcoal grill until coals are very hot.
  • Place kebabs on the hot grill until browned and cooked through, about 12 minutes, turning every 3 minutes or so. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center of a kebab should read at least 145 degrees F (63 degrees C). Serve.
