Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams ground beef
- 1 medium onion
- 3 garlic cloves
- 0.5 cup fresh parsley
- 0.5 cup fresh cilantro
- 2 teaspoons ground cumin
- 2 teaspoons ground coriander
- 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 12 wooden skewers
Instructions
Soak the wooden skewers in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning during cooking.
Finely chop the onion, garlic, parsley, and cilantro.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, chopped onion, minced garlic, parsley, cilantro, ground cumin, coriander, cinnamon, cayenne pepper, sea salt, and black pepper.
Using your hands, mix the ingredients until well combined. Be careful not to over-mix as this can make the kofta tough.
Divide the mixture into 12 equal portions and shape each portion into a sausage-like form around each skewer.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat.
Cook the kofta skewers in the pan, turning occasionally, until they are browned and cooked through, about 12-15 minutes.
Remove the kofta from the heat and let them rest for a few minutes before serving.
Serve the Paleo Beef Kofta warm, paired with a fresh salad or roasted vegetables.
