Cómo preparar Skewered Ground Meat
- In a large bowl, combine 1 lb ground beef (or lamb or turkey), 1/2 cup finely chopped onion, 1/4 cup finely chopped fresh parsley, 2 cloves garlic (minced), 1 teaspoon ground cumin, 1/2 teaspoon ground coriander, 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional), 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Wet your hands with water and thoroughly mix all ingredients.
- Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 2 hours (or up to overnight) to allow the flavors to meld.
- Lightly dampen your hands. Shape the meat mixture around 6-8 skewers into long, flattened patties, approximately 1 1/2 inches wide and 4-5 inches long.
- Preheat grill or broiler to medium-high heat. Grill or broil the kafta skewers for 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally, until browned and cooked through. Internal temperature should reach 160°F (71°C).
- While the meat cooks, prepare your vegetable skewers (see step 6).
- For the optional vegetable skewers: Marinate 1 large tomato (cut into chunks), 1/2 large onion (cut into chunks), 1 green bell pepper (cut into chunks), and 1/2 eggplant (cut into chunks) in a mixture of 1/4 cup olive oil, 2 tablespoons lemon juice, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper for at least 30 minutes. Thread vegetables onto skewers and grill alongside the meat for 8-10 minutes, or until tender.
- Serve the kafta skewers immediately with warm pita bread, rice, hummus, and your favorite sides. Enjoy!
