Ingredients
Instructions
Make the kofta mix
Finely chop the parsley. Peel and finely chop the onions, then squeeze out the liquid well.
In a large bowl, add the minced meat, onion, parsley, salt, pepper, and 7-spice blend. Mix until fully combined.
Leave the meat mixture in the fridge to chill for 10-15 minutes.
Shape the kofta
Divide the meat mixture into even portions. Measure out small meatballs of about 2 oz (50 grams).
Tread each portion onto your skewers and press firmly into an oblong shape. Keep them the same size so they cook evenly.
Grill the kofta
Pre-heat and pre-oil the grill to 350ºF/175ºC, or, if using a charcoal grill, prepare it.
Transfer the kofta kebabs to the grill and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side until browned and cooked through.Check for doneness - the internal temperature should reach 160ºF/70ºC. The kofta should be browned, and the juices should run clear.
Serve the grilled kofta kebabs hot!
