Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 250 grams ground lamb
- 250 grams ground beef
- 1 medium, finely chopped onion
- 0.5 cup, finely chopped fresh parsley
- 0.5 cup, finely chopped fresh cilantro
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon ground coriander
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground lamb, ground beef, chopped onion, parsley, and cilantro.
Add the ground cumin, coriander, paprika, cinnamon, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper to the meat mixture.
Using your hands, mix all the ingredients together until well combined. Be careful not to over-mix as it can make the meat tough.
Divide the mixture into 12 equal portions and shape each portion into an elongated patty or oval shape, about 2-3 inches long and 1 inch wide.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Once the oil is hot, place the kefta patties in the skillet. Cook for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until they are well browned and cooked through.
Remove the cooked kefta from the skillet and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to remove any excess oil.
Serve the sugar-free kefta hot with a side of fresh salad, warm pita bread, or your favorite dipping sauce.
