Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 g Ground beef
- 1 medium, grated Onion
- 2 cloves, minced Garlic
- 30 g, finely chopped Fresh parsley
- 1 tsp Ground cumin
- 1 tsp Ground coriander
- 1 tsp Paprika
- 0.25 tsp Cayenne pepper
- 1 tsp Salt
- 0.5 tsp Black pepper
- 2 tbsp (for grilling or frying) Olive oil
Instructions
In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, grated onion, minced garlic, and chopped parsley.
Add the ground cumin, ground coriander, paprika, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper. Mix well with your hands or a spatula until all ingredients are evenly combined.
Divide the mixture into 8 equal portions and shape each portion into long, oval patties about 1 inch thick.
Preheat a grill pan or frying pan over medium-high heat and add the olive oil.
Once the oil is hot, place the kefta patties in the pan, ensuring they are not crowded, and cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they have a nicely browned exterior and are cooked through.
Serve hot, optionally garnished with additional fresh parsley or alongside a low-carb side dish such as grilled vegetables or salad.
