I felt like something different tonight and being a fan of Lebanese food, i wanted to try my hand at Kafta which is tasty minced beef cooked on skewers.

Lebanese Kafta

1 medium onions (grated)
500 g lean beef mince
1/2 tsp cayenne pepper
1/2 tsp ground all spice
1/4 bunch fresh parsley (finely chopped)
1/4 tsp finely ground black pepper
salt to taste

  1. Preheat oven to 250 degrees. Soak wooden skewers in water.
  2. Combine all ingredients together in large bowl (using your hand to blend is the easiest) adjust salt and pepper to taste.
  3. Shape the meat onto a skewer to form a log shape then flatten with hand.
  4. Cook in oven for 10-15 minutes, serve with lebanese bread and tabouli salad.
