Pork and Beef Kofta Kabobs
Servings: 16 kabobs
Ingredients
- 16 wooden skewers (soaked)
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1 lb ground pork
- 1 ½ tbsp cilantro, chopped
- ½ tsp ground tumeric
- ½ tsp nutmeg
- ½ tsp cinnamon
- ½ tsp ground ginger
- ½ tsp ground cardamom
- ½ tsp pepper
- 1 tsp cumin
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 ½ tsp salt
Instructions
- Soak 16 wooden skewers in warm water for at least 30 minutes.
- In a large bowl, mix together ground beef, ground pork and spices until just incorporated.
- Allow mixture to marinate for 30 minutes at room temperature.
- When ready, take a handful of meat mixture and form it around the skewer, about ⅓ of the way down the skewer. Press the meat firmly to the skewer so that it does not fall off when grilling.
- Grill kabobs over a hot grill (400°F) for 8 minutes (4 minutes on each side) or until the meat is just cooked through.
- Let kabobs rest for 5 minutes, then devour.
- These kabobs go great served with a side of tzatziki, rice and a simple salad.
