About Lamb and beef kefta

Lamb and Beef Kefta is a flavorful Middle Eastern dish made from ground lamb and beef mixed with spices like cumin, coriander, cinnamon, and fresh herbs such as parsley and mint. Often shaped into oblong patties or skewered, it’s traditionally grilled for a smoky char. Packed with protein from the meat, it provides essential amino acids for muscle repair and maintenance. Lamb offers ample quantities of zinc and vitamin B12, while beef adds iron and more B vitamins. However, due to its richness in saturated fat, portion control is advised for heart health. Kefta is often served with fresh salads, tahini sauce, or over nutrient-dense whole grains like quinoa or rice, balancing its robust flavors with light, wholesome sides.
