Kafta a la moshi

Annie and I love eating Mediterranean grilled meats... so we figured we would make a homemade version of Kafta... I don't really have a recipe for it but this should give you an idea on how to make your own rendition.

Approximately 2 kg of meat! (For 4-6 people)

1 Kg - 1/2 Ground Beef

1 Kg - 1/2 Ground Lamb

1 Whole chopped onion 

1-2 cup of chopped parsley (regular or Italian)

3-4 Minced Garlic clove

3-4 teaspoon of ground cumin

3-4 teaspoon Ras Hanout spice

Handful of pine nuts

pinch of curry

pinch of sugar

Salt and Pepper

1/4 cup of Olive oil 

Mix the meats together and combine all ingredients... and refrigerate for 2-3 hours. Once completed form sausages that would fit in a pita wrap. 

Cooking: 

You can bbq the meat (which would be best) or you can pan sear on cast iron all sides 1-2 minutes per side to seal in the juices. Then finish in the oven for 10 mins @ 400 degrees. 

I find that adding the olive oil in the meat mix makes the meat juicier somehow....

Serving suggestions:

- Pita Wrap with hummus, with tomatoes, pickled turnip, onions and tomatoes

- Eat with Fatouch Salad or Tabouleh Salad

- Also great with Basmati Rice

Enjoy!
