About Kafta sandwich

Kafta Sandwich is a flavorful Middle Eastern dish, originating from Levantine cuisine. It features ground beef or lamb seasoned with a blend of spices such as cumin, parsley, onion, and garlic, shaped into patties or cylindrical kebabs and grilled to perfection. The kafta is typically wrapped in soft pita bread, accompanied by fresh vegetables like tomatoes, cucumbers, and lettuce, and often complemented with tahini or garlic sauce for added zest. This sandwich provides a good source of protein from the meat, while the vegetables add vitamins, minerals, and fiber. However, it can be high in fat depending on the cut of meat used and the quantity of sauce added. Opting for leaner meats and whole-grain pita can enhance its nutritional value, making it a wholesome and satisfying choice for a quick meal or snack.
