Provided by Gina Matsoukas

Categories     Main Dishes

Time 32m

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 pound ground beef
1 small yellow onion
3 cloves garlic
1/2 cup loosely packed fresh parsley leaves
1/2 teaspoon Kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon cumin
1/2 teaspoon coriander
1/2 teaspoon sumac
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
1/8 teaspoon allspice

Steps:

  • Place ground beef in a large bowl.
  • Add onion, garlic and parsley to a food processor and process until very finely minced scraping down sides as needed. Mixture should almost start to liquefy (just past the point of a very fine mince).
  • Transfer the onion mixture to the bowl with the beef and add all the spices.
  • Mix well using clean hands until all the ingredients are fully incorporated. Place the bowl in the refrigerator for 10 minutes while you preheat the grill.
  • Preheat an outdoor grill to medium high heat (450-500°F) and lightly grease the grates with a high smoke point oil like avocado oil.
  • Remove the beef mixture from the refrigerator and form the beef into an oblong shape on skewers (*see note). Using 6 to 8 skewers, repeat until beef mixture is used up.
  • Carefully place each skewer on the preheated and greased grill. Grill for about 6-8 minutes.
  • Gently flip skewers when meat pulls away from the grates easily and grill marks have formed on the bottom. Grill on the other side for an additional 3-4 minutes until cooked through.
  • Transfer the kabobs to a plate and let rest for a few minutes before serving.
  • Pour any accumulated juices over the kabobs when serving and enjoy with your favorite sides.

GRILLED LAMB KOFTA KEBABS WITH PISTACHIOS AND SPICY SALAD WRAP



Grilled Lamb Kofta Kebabs with Pistachios and Spicy Salad Wrap image

Authentic kebabs are delicious, full of nuts, spices, herbs and fruit, as anyone who's tasted proper Middle Eastern cooking knows. In this recipe I'm using a spice called sumac - it has a lovely flavor - but if you can't find it, try lemon zest instead. Buy really good ground lamb, or else a cut of trimmed shoulder or neck fillet and grind it up at home in a food processor. If you buy slightly older lamb (mutton), it's important to ask your butcher to remove the sinews, and that you cook the meat for a few minutes longer. This dish is best cooked on a barbecue over hot coals, but if that's not possible, put your broiler on to its highest setting or heat up a griddle pan. Either way, get your cooking source preheated.

Time 40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 pound trimmed shoulder or neck fillet of lamb, chopped into 1-inch chunks
2 heaping tablespoons fresh thyme leaves
1 level tablespoon ground chili pepper
1 level tablespoon ground cumin
4 level tablespoons sumac, if you can find any, or 1 lemon, zest finely grated
Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
A good handful shelled pistachio nuts
A few handfuls mixed salad leaves, such as romaine, endive and arugula, washed, spun dry and shredded
A few handfuls mixed salad leaves, such as romaine, endive and arugula, washed, spun dry and shredded
A small bunch fresh mint, leaves picked
1 red onion, peeled and very finely sliced
1 lemon
A bunch of fresh flat-leaf parsley, leaves picked
Extra-virgin olive oil
4 large flatbreads or tortilla wraps
4 heaping tablespoons plain yogurt

Steps:

  • Place the lamb in a food processor with most of the thyme, chili, cumin and sumac (reserving a little of each for sprinkling over later), a little salt and pepper and all the pistachios. Put the lid on and keep pulsing until the mixture looks like ground meat.
  • Divide the meat into 4 equal pieces and get yourself 4 skewers. With damp hands, push and shape the meat around and along each skewer. Press little indents in the meat with your fingers as you go - this will give it a better texture when cooked.
  • In a bowl, mix the salad leaves and mint. In another bowl, combine the sliced onion with a good pinch of salt and pepper and a squeeze of lemon juice (the acidity will take the edge off and lightly pickle the raw onion). Scrunch this all together with your hands, then mix in the parsley leaves.
  • Grill the kebabs until nicely golden on all sides. Dress your salad leaves and mint with a splash of extra-virgin olive oil, a squeeze of lemon juice and some salt and pepper. Meanwhile, warm the flatbreads for 30 seconds on the griddle pan or under the broiler, then divide between plates and top each with some dressed salad leaves and onion. When your kebabs are cooked, slip them off their skewers onto the flatbreads - you can leave them whole or break them up as I've done here. Sprinkle with the rest of the sumac, cumin, chili and fresh thyme, and a little salt and pepper. Now either toss the salads, grilled meat and juices together on top of the flatbreads and drizzle with some of the yogurt before rolling up and serving; or let your friends toss theirs together at the table, then dress and roll up their own, drizzled with some extra-virgin olive oil.

LAMB OR BEEF KEBAB PITAS WITH TZATZIKI



Lamb or Beef Kebab Pitas With Tzatziki image

Because of the use of ground meat, this is what we call a kebab here. Delicious! They can be oven-roasted, but I highly recommend you do these on the bbq.

Categories     One Dish Meal

Time 50m

Yield 4-5 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 25

1 lb ground lamb (preferably leg, with all the fat) or 1 lb ground chuck
1 small red onion, finely minced
2 garlic cloves, finely minced
1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
1 egg, lightly beaten
1/3 cup dry breadcrumbs
2 tablespoons Greek yogurt or 2 tablespoons sour cream
1 teaspoon dried oregano (well-rubbed between your fingers)
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground allspice
1/4 teaspoon ground cayenne pepper
salt and pepper
1 cup Greek yogurt (no other yoghurt will do) or 1 cup sour cream
1 garlic clove, crushed to a paste
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
5 fresh mint leaves, minced
1/4 cup fresh dill, minced
1/4 cup cucumber, grated, squeezed dry (unpeeled, washed)
salt
fresh tomato, thinly-sliced

grilled pita bread

Steps:

  • In a bowl, knead together all the kebab ingredients. Form into sausages of about 4-5 inches in length. Cover and leave in the fridge for about an hour.

  • Preheat oven to 400°F (this is also great on the bbq).
  • Grill the kebabs until brown and crusty on all sides, and cooked through, about 12-14 minutes.
  • Get some grilled pita breads.
  • Place 1 or 2 kebabs inside each pita and add some slices of tomato, onion, some tzatziki, and a generous sprinkling of parlsey.
  • Roll up as tightly as you can without mushing up your sandwich, and wrap a piece of aluminum foil around bottom to catch any drips.
  • Enjoy one of the best sandwiches you've ever had.

Tips:

  • When selecting your beef, choose a tender cut like flank steak or sirloin. This will ensure that your kebabs are juicy and flavorful.
  • Use a sharp knife to cut the beef into thin strips. This will help them cook evenly.
  • Combine the beef with a flavorful marinade. This will help to tenderize the meat and add flavor.
  • Soak the wooden skewers in water for at least 30 minutes before using. This will help to prevent them from burning.
  • Thread the beef strips onto the skewers, alternating with the pistachio nuts and vegetables.
  • Grill the kebabs over medium heat until the beef is cooked through. This will take about 10-12 minutes per side.
  • Serve the kebabs immediately with your favorite dipping sauce.

Conclusion:

Beef and pistachio kebabs are a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. They are a great way to use up leftover beef, and they can be customized to your liking. Serve them with your favorite dipping sauce and enjoy!
