Ingredients

• 500 grams Ground beef or lamb
• 1 large Onion
• 2 cloves Garlic
• 0.5 bunch Fresh parsley
• 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon Ground turmeric
• 1 teaspoon Ground black pepper
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1 tablespoon Butter
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil

Directions

Step 1

Begin by grating the onion into a large mixing bowl. Use a fine grater to ensure that the onion turns into a pulp-like consistency, which will help the meat mixture hold together without using bread crumbs or other starches.

Step 2

Mince the garlic cloves and chop the parsley finely, then add them to the onion pulp.

Step 3

Add the ground beef or lamb, ground cumin, ground turmeric, black pepper, and salt to the bowl with the onion mixture.

Step 4

Mix all the ingredients together thoroughly using your hands. Knead the meat mixture for about 5 minutes to ensure that all the elements are well combined and the mixture becomes sticky.

Step 5

Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes. This will help the flavors to meld and make the mixture easier to shape.

Step 6

Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. If using a grill pan, brush it with olive oil.

Step 7

Take the meat mixture out of the refrigerator and divide it into 8 equal portions. Mold each portion around a skewer, pressing the mixture onto the skewer firmly and evenly.

Step 8

Brush the kofta kebabs with melted butter on all sides.

Step 9

Grill the kebabs for about 3-4 minutes on each side, making sure they are browned and cooked through.

Step 10

Serve the low carb koobideh kebabs immediately with a fresh salad or low carb side of your choice.
