Perfect for grilling season or really any time when you’re looking to change up your ground meat suppers. Classically, kefta are made with lamb, and are delicious that way, but you can use beef, too. The Middle Eastern seasoning is oh-so-delicious! This recipe comes together very quickly.
1 pound ground beef or lamb
1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
1 tablespoon fresh mint, chopped
3 cloves garlic, pressed through garlic press
1 tablespoon shawarma seasoning
1/2 teaspoon sumac
1/2 teaspoon Gefen Cinnamon
1 teaspoon smoky paprika
1/2 teaspoon salt
freshly ground Gefen Pepper
Combine all ingredients in a large bowl. Do not over-mix.
Form kefta shape. Grill over medium-high heat for about four to five minutes per side.
Serve with humus, tahini and za’atar. (Omit for Passover if you don’t eat kitniyot.)
Serves: 12-15 kefta
