The Pickled Onion Recipe here
The Tzatziki Recipe here
For the Kebabs:
2 pounds (900g) ground beef or lamb
2 small onions, peeled and quartered
1 small bunch of cilantro or parsley, washed and dried
4 garlic cloves
1 heaping teaspoon ground cumin
1 heaping teaspoon ground coriander
2 teaspoons salt, or to taste
2 serrano chillies
4 tablespoons olive oil
For the Rice Pilaf:
1/4 cup olive oil
4-5 scallions, thinly sliced
1 (16 oz/440g) can of chickpeas, drained
2 garlic cloves, grated or a teaspoon of granulated garlic powder
2 cups Basmati rice
2 cups water or broth
2 teaspoons salt
freshly cracked black pepper to taste
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
Instructions
Make the Kebabs:
Place the ground beef in a large mixing bowl. Season with salt, cumin, and coriander.
In a food processor that has been fitted with the blade attachment add one of the quartered onions and pulse until very finely chopped. Be careful to not turn it into a puree. Transfer the chopped onion to a strainer and season with a pinch of salt. This will help draw out the liquid.
Chop the other onion and add to the strainer. After about 10 minutes, discard the liquid and add the onions to the beef mixture.
Add the garlic cloves to the food processor and pulse until minced. Add the serrano chillies and pulse until very finely chopped. Transfer the mixture to the mixing bowl.
Add the cilantro leaves along with the delicate stems to the food processor and pulse until very finely chopped. Add to the beef mixture.
Add the olive oil as well and knead until everything is evenly incorporated. It is best to do this with kitchen gloves. At this point the beef mixture can be covered with plastic wrap and refrigerated for 3-4 hours or overnight for maximum flavor.
Form the kebabs: Measure 3 oz (85g) of the meat mixture and form them into balls. Roll them into round patties or into approximately 6-inch long kebabs. Place them on a baking tray lined with parchment paper.
Freezer Instructions: At this point the kebabs can be wrapped with plastic wrap and stored in the freezer for up to 2 months. Thaw in the refrigerator and then grill, pan-fry, or cook in the air fryer.
Cook the Kebabs:
My favorite way to cook the kebabs is in a cast-iron skillet, pan-fried. Place a cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat and add a layer of olive oil. Once the oil is nice and hot, add 5-6 kebabs to the pan and cook them approximately 3 minutes per side. Transfer the kebabs to a tray that has been lined with paper towels to absorb any excess oil.
In the air-fryer: Preheat teh air fryer to 400 °F. Brush the kebabs with olive oil and cook them 4 minutes per side. serve.
Grill them in a barbecue grill: brush the kebabs with olive oil and grill 2-3 minutes per side.
Make the Rice Pilaf:
Rinse the rice 3-4 times with cold water to get rid of any dirt or excess starch. Soak in cold water for 10-15 minutes.
Add the olive oil and scallions to a pot and cook over medium heat for 3-4 minutes or until soft. Add the garlic and warm through.
Add the chickpeas and season with a pinch of salt and pepper.
Drain the water from the rice and add the rice to the pot along with 2 cups of water, lemon juice, and 2 teaspoons of salt.
Mix everything together and bring to a boil. Cover the pot with the lid and reduce the heat to low. Cook for 15 minutes.
Fluff the rice and serve.

Beef Kofta Kebabs
Ingredients:
2 lbs Ground Beef
1/2 Onion (finely minced)
4 Garlic Cloves (finely minced)
1 Bunch Of Mint (finely minced)
1 Bunch Of Parsley (finely minced)
1 Tbsp Lemon Juice
1 tsp Ground Coriander
1 tsp Ground Ginger
1 tsp Cinnamon
1/2 tsp Nutmeg
2 tsp Allspice
1 tsp Cumin
2 tsp Paprika
1/2 tsp Cayenne
1/2 tsp Ground Green Cardamom
1 tsp Sumac (optional)
Salt and Black Pepper
Accoutrements:
Pita or Flat Bread
Sliced Onion
Sliced Cucumber
Sliced Tomato
Shredded Lettuce
Lemon Wedges
Tzatziki Sauce Ingredients :
1 Cup Yogurt
1/2 Cup Cucumber (grated)
1 Garlic Clove (minced)
1 Tbsp Mint (finely minced)
1-2 Tbsp Lemon Juice
1 Tbsp Olive Oil
Salt
Instructions:
In a large bowl combine all the tzatziki sauce ingredients and season with salt to taste. Place in the fridge until ready to serve.
In a large bowl combine the ground beef, all the dry spices, finely minced onion, garlic, mint, lemon juice, and parsley. Season with salt and pepper then mix until completely incorporated and slightly tacky.
Form a few ounces of the ground meat mixture into a oblong shape in your hand. Using a flat skewer, skewer the meat through the center and evenly spread the meat across the length of the skewer. (PRO-TIP: keep the meat cold, this will help the meat stick and stay on the skewer). Repeat with the rest of the kebabs. Place the kebabs on a sheet tray then place in the fridge to keep cold while you fire up the grill.
Next using a charcoal grill with a few wood chunks added for smoke, grill the kebabs suspended by a metal kebab holder (Check Amazon). Turn the kebobs every 30 seconds until cooked then remove from the grill. (You can also grill the kebabs directly on the grill just make sure the grill grate spacing is close together).
Serve the kofta with sliced tomatoes, red onion, cucumber, lemon wedges, lettuce, pita or flatbread, and the tzatziki sauce.
Enjoy!

Authentic Lebanese BEEF KAFTA
When it comes to grilling, we love our burgers and hot dogs, but we are definitely more partial to Lebanese style grilling, like this Beef Kafta recipe.
