Ingrediënten

De bereidingswijze

Stap voor stap

1. 1

   In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, grated onion, chopped fresh parsley, minced garlic, salt, black pepper, and seven spice blend.

   Ongeveer 5 min

   Tip van de kok: Ensure the onion is very finely grated or chopped to prevent a crunchy texture in the cooked kafta.

2. 2

   Mix the ingredients thoroughly with your hands until well combined and the mixture becomes slightly pasty.

   Ongeveer 5 min

   Tip van de kok: Over-mixing can make the meat tough, but you want it just combined enough to hold its shape.

3. 3

   Divide the meat mixture into 8 equal portions.

   Ongeveer 2 min

4. 4

   Shape each portion around a metal skewer, forming an oblong, flattened cylinder about 1 inch thick and 4-5 inches long.

   Ongeveer 5 min

   Tip van de kok: If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes before use to prevent burning.
