Instructions
1οΈβ£ Soak 10 wooden skewers in water for about 30 minutes to 1 hour. Remove from water when you are ready to begin. Lightly oil the grates of a gas grill and preheat it to medium-high for about 20 minutes. π₯
2οΈβ£ Prepare pita bread and fixings. If you plan to, make the tahini sauce from this recipe. Prepare other sides and salads before you begin grilling. π
3οΈβ£ In a food processor, chop the onion, garlic, and parsley. Add the beef, lamb, bread (be sure to squeeze out the water completely), and the spices. Run the processor until all is well combined forming a pasty meat mixture. π₯©
4οΈβ£ Remove the meat mixture from the food processor and place in a large bowl. Take a fistful portion of the meat mixture and mold it on a wooden skewer. Repeat the process until you have run out of meat. For best results, make sure each kofta kebab is about 1 inch in thickness. π
5οΈβ£ Lay the skewered kofta kebabs on a tray lined with parchment paper. Place the kofta kebabs on the lightly oiled, heated gas grill. Grill on medium-high heat for 4 minutes on one side, turn over and grill for another 3-4 minutes. π’
6οΈβ£ Serve the kofta kebabs immediately with pita bread, tahini, and the fixings you prepared. See suggestions for sides and related recipes. π½οΈ
