Middle Eastern Kofta Kebab Recipe
This amazingly easy to make kofta kebab recipe is jam-packed with middle eastern seasonings and spices and seared to perfection.
Throughout the Middle East, just about every country and the region have their own version of Kofta with varying ingredients. It may be called kefta, kifta, kafta, koobideh, or a myriad of other names. While traditionally they are served more as meatballs, they are often spread out over a skewer and cooked over the open flame.
Ingredients for this recipe:
• 2 ½ pounds ground sirloin
• ½ pound ground lamb
• 1 peeled small diced yellow onion
• 5 finely minced garlic cloves
• 1/3 cup finely minced parsley
• 2 tablespoons finely minced mint
• 1 tablespoon sumac
• 1 teaspoon allspice
• 1 ½ teaspoons cinnamon
• 1 teaspoon ground cardamom
• 1 tablespoon cumin
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1 tablespoon sea salt
• ½ teaspoon ground pepper
Serves: 8
Prep Time: 15 minutes
Cook Time: 10 minutes
Marinate Time: 30 minutes
Procedures:
1. Add all of the ingredients into a large bowl and thoroughly mix everything together until completely combined.
2. Place in the refrigerator covered for at least 30 minutes or up to overnight.
3. Remove the meat mixture and take out a large chunk and form it into a tight cylinder.
4. Skewer the meat cylinder and then press and pull it to fit a majority of the skewer. Repeat until all of the meat has been used.
5. Preheat your grill to 450° to 550° F or a griddle to medium-high heat.
6. Place the kofta kebabs right onto your grill or griddle and cook for 3-4 minutes or until very browned and cooked throughout.
7. Remove and serve.
Chef Notes:
Make-Ahead: This recipe is meant to be eaten as soon as it is done cooking, but you can keep it warm for about an hour at low temperatures in the oven (165° F) before serving.
How to Store: Keep covered in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. This will freeze well covered for up to 3 months. Thaw for 1 day in the refrigerator before reheating.
How to Reheat: Place directly on a hot grill (450° to 550° F) for 2 to 3 minutes per side or until hot. You can also place on a cookie sheet tray and bake in the oven at 350° for 6-8 minutes or until hot. Likewise, you can heat up in the microwave.
If the meat starts to fall off the skewer when forming it to the skewer chill it in the refrigerator for 10 minutes to help it tighten up.
How Egyptians make the Juiciest Kebabs
One of the best grilled foods of all time is kofta, a juicy mix of meat, onion and herbs packed full of flavour. These Egyptian koftas are incredibly moist and flavourful, and when you combine them with tahini sauce, they are an S-Tier combination.

My Classic Kafta Recipe with
Arabic 7 Spice????
The most common problem people have when making Kafta; is the meat falls off the skewers during the cook.
Kafta has no binders; No eggs, No breadcrumbs.
There are 2 secret tricks to keep your meat binded together & sticking to the skewers instead of falling into the fire;
Secret No.1 - The Meat needs to be Pasty.
On a clean bench, work the salt through the mince first until slightly pasty. This pasty texture will bind the meat together. Have fun with it????????
Secret No 2 - Seal Your Edges.
With wet fingers pinch the ends of the meat onto the skewer & rotate to make sure the meat sticks & is sealed. Make sure the meat is smooth at the ends; no gaps or holes.
These savoury meat skewers are loaded with flavour & perfect for grilling. Here's what you'll need:
Kafta Ingredients:
1.5 kg ground beef and lamb (50/50 mix)
1.5 small onions, finely minced (Use a grater & a cheese cloth to drain the onion juice out)
1.5 cloves garlic, finely minced
4 tsp Arabic 7 spice (also referred to as: BAHARAT)
4 tsp salt
2 tsp Sweet Paprika
1 tsp Cinnamon
1.5 tsp black pepper
1/2 Cup finely chopped parsley
*Stainless Steel food grade skewers are the best! link in bio to purchase.
Kafta Method
1. In a large bowl, mix together the ground meat and salt until well combined and the mixture becomes slightly pasty.
2. Add the onions, garlic, Arabic 7 spice, pepper, & parsley. Mix until well combined.
3. Form the mixture to your desired size and thread onto metal or soaked wooden skewers. 100g per portion is standard.
4. Dip your fingers in warm water & seal the ends of the meat onto the skewer.
5. Preheat a BBQ Grill to medium-high heat.
Grill for about 6-8 minutes, until the kafta is cooked through and lightly charred.
6. Serve the kafta skewers hot with your choice of sides, such as rice, salad, hummus & Lebanese Bread.
