Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Ground beef or lamb
- 1 large, finely chopped Onion
- 0.5 cup, finely chopped Fresh parsley
- 0.5 cup, finely chopped Fresh cilantro
- 0.5 cup Gluten-free breadcrumbs
- 3 cloves Minced garlic
- 2 teaspoons Ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon Ground coriander
- 1 teaspoon Ground paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground meat with the finely chopped onion, parsley, cilantro, and gluten-free breadcrumbs.
Add the minced garlic, ground cumin, coriander, paprika, cinnamon, salt, and black pepper to the meat mixture.
Using your hands, mix all the ingredients together until well combined. Be sure to distribute the spices evenly throughout the meat.
Divide the mixture into 12 equal portions. Shape each portion into a small log or oval shape, about 2-3 inches long.
Heat the olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Once the oil is hot, carefully place the kefta into the skillet, ensuring they are not overcrowded. You may need to cook them in batches.
Cook for about 6-8 minutes on each side or until nicely browned and cooked through.
Once cooked, remove the kefta from the skillet and drain on a plate lined with paper towels.
Serve hot with your choice of gluten-free sides, such as rice, salad, or gluten-free pita bread.
