Kefta Kabob

One of my favorite Mediterranean restaurants serve up the best kefta kabobs ever! I had to recreate my own so I could have it any time. So simple, and the flavors are easy to match.

2 tbsp

finely diced onion (yellow or spanish)

fresh finely chopped garlic clove

1 tsp

1/4 cup

Cooking instructions

* Step 1

mix all ingredients by hand in a bowl except for oil, until well incorporated for about 1 minute.

* Step 2

Form into golf ball size balls and flatten into 1/2 inch thick oval patties.

* Step 3

Place patties on plate and put in fridge for atleast 20 to 30 minutes to let ingredients incorporate. You can do this the night before and let sit overnight.

* Step 4

Before cooking, take meat out for atleast 5 to 10 min to bring closer to room temperature so meat cooks evenly.

* Step 5

Heat Oil in nonstick pan or grill pan on med - high heat. When oil is heated place about 6 patties to sautee leaving room between, so it can sear and not steam.

* Step 6

Let sear for 3 to 4 min on each side. You should have a beautiful caramelized brown finish.

* Step 7

You can place on paper towel or wire rack to rest until all pieces are cooked.

* Step 8

patties can be served in warm pita bread with hummus and/or tzatziki sauce. Feel free to add tahini sauce or a spicy chili sauce for heat! can also be served along a side of rice ( basmati or jasmine rice preferred)

* Step 9

During the summer this dish is best on the grill bc of the great char flavor you get! same cooking method, med high heat, 3 to 4 min each side. let them rest for a couple min to retain moisture.
