Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 medium onion, finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon ground coriander
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 0.5 teaspoon ground allspice
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, finely chopped onion, chopped fresh parsley, ground cumin, ground coriander, minced garlic, ground allspice, salt, and black pepper.
Using your hands, mix the ingredients thoroughly until well combined.
Divide the mixture into eight equal portions and shape each portion into an oval-shaped patty around a skewer or form into oval-shaped patties if cooking without skewers.
Preheat an outdoor grill or stovetop grill pan to medium-high heat.
Lightly brush each kofta with olive oil to prevent sticking.
Grill the koftas for about 8-10 minutes, turning occasionally, until they are cooked through and browned on the outside.
Once cooked, remove the koftas from the grill and let them rest for a couple of minutes before serving.
Serve the beef koftas with a fresh salad or compliant sides such as cauliflower rice or grilled vegetables for a complete Whole30 meal.
