Kofta
Kofta is a great alternative to meatloaf! Made
with ground beef and spices, it is cooked, but not served on a skewer. It is
best to cook these on flat skewers, not round. They can be baked in the oven
or on the grill. They are a summertime favorite!
The recipe calls for extra finely ground beef. Ask your butcher or the meat
department to run the beef through the grinder one or two extra times. It
makes a difference in the recipe - the meat will be smooth and soft.
INGREDIENTS:
- 3 lbs ground beef (ground extra fine)
- 1 large onion
- 1/2 cup of fresh parsley, chopped
- salt
- pepper
PREPARATION:
Finely chop onion and parsley. Time saving
Tip: Use a food processor.
Add onions and parley to ground beef in a large bowl.
Add salt and pepper to taste.
Form the mixture into small balls and place five balls onto a skewer.
Shape the meat into a cigar shape on the
skewer.
Bake at 350 for 45 minutes, or if grilling, grill for 20-25 minutes or until
done. Serve over a bed of white rice.
Serves
Serving Suggestions:
Kofta is often served on flatbread (without skewers) or pita bread. It is also
common to see it served on a hotdog bun.
