Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Ground beef
- 1 cup Fresh parsley
- 1 medium Onion
- 2 large Garlic cloves
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon Ground coriander
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
Instructions
Place the ground beef in a large mixing bowl.
Finely chop the fresh parsley and add it to the bowl.
Grate the onion and squeeze out any excess liquid using a clean kitchen towel or paper towel. Add the onion pulp to the bowl.
Mince the garlic cloves finely and add them to the mixture.
Add the ground cumin, ground coriander, paprika, salt, and ground black pepper to the bowl.
Using your hands, mix all the ingredients together until they are well combined.
Divide the mixture into 8 equal portions and shape each portion into an oval or cylindrical patty (about the size of a small sausage).
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Once the oil is hot, place the kafta patties in the skillet. Make sure not to overcrowd the pan.
Cook the kafta for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until they are nicely browned and fully cooked through.
Remove the kafta from the skillet and let them rest for a couple of minutes before serving.
Serve the Paleo Lebanese Kafta with a side of fresh salad or grilled vegetables.
