Ingredients
- 250 grams ground lamb
- 250 grams ground beef
- 1 medium, finely chopped onion
- 0.5 cup, finely chopped fresh parsley
- 0.5 cup, finely chopped fresh cilantro
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon ground coriander
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground lamb, ground beef, chopped onion, parsley, and cilantro.
Step 2
Add the ground cumin, coriander, paprika, cinnamon, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper to the meat mixture.
Step 3
Using your hands, mix all the ingredients together until well combined. Be careful not to over-mix as it can make the meat tough.
Step 4
Divide the mixture into 12 equal portions and shape each portion into an elongated patty or oval shape, about 2-3 inches long and 1 inch wide.
Step 5
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Step 6
Once the oil is hot, place the kefta patties in the skillet. Cook for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until they are well browned and cooked through.
Step 7
Remove the cooked kefta from the skillet and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to remove any excess oil.
Step 8
Serve the sugar-free kefta hot with a side of fresh salad, warm pita bread, or your favorite dipping sauce.
