Indulge in the rich flavors of tender, seasoned meat with this classic Kafta BBQ recipe. Made with a combination of ground beef, onions, parsley, and aromatic spices, these juicy kebabs are perfect for grilling outdoors or cooking on a stovetop. Serve them with pita bread, hummus, and a side salad for a complete and satisfying meal.

Ingredients

  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1/2 cup finely chopped onions
  • 1/4 cup chopped parsley
  • 2 teaspoons ground cumin
