Kofta image

Kofta is a popular dish made from grilled ground beef that is served throughout the Middle-East. This is a wonderful and simple version I picked up in Egypt. A great accompaniment is saffron rice.

Time 30m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 pound ground beef
1 onion, diced
1 egg yolk
2 tablespoons chopped fresh oregano
salt and pepper to taste
1 bamboo skewers, soaked in water for 20 minutes

Steps:

  • In a medium bowl, mix together the ground beef, onion, egg yolk, oregano, salt and pepper.
  • Pick up medium sized handfuls and press them onto skewers. Roll on a lightly oiled clean surface until the mixture looks like a large ground beef hot dog with about 1 1/2 inches at each end of the skewer. Place your fingers in the middle of the skewer and separate the meat log into two sausages with about 1 inch of skewer sticking out at each end.
  • Prepare a grill for high heat, or if you only have a grill pan, like myself, heat it over medium-high heat.
  • Place the sausages on the grilling surface, and cook for about 10 minutes, turning once or twice for even cooking. Serve immediately.

The kofta meatballs were amazing! They were so tender and flavorful. The sauce was also very good, but I think it would have been better if it had a bit more acidity.

This kofta recipe was easy to follow and the meatballs were delicious! The sauce was a bit too spicy for my taste, but I think I'll try making it again with less chili powder.

The kofta meatballs were a bit dry, but the sauce was delicious. I think I'll try adding some more moisture to the meatballs next time.
