Meat Selection and Fat Content
Choose high-quality ground meat with a moderate fat content (around 20%) to ensure the kabobs are moist and flavorful. Lamb and beef blends work well.
Spice Blending
Experiment with different spice combinations to create your own unique flavor profile. Freshly ground spices offer the best aroma and taste.
Proper Grilling Technique
Grill the kabobs over medium heat, turning them frequently to ensure even cooking and prevent burning. Use a meat thermometer to check for doneness (160°F or 71°C).
Preventing Fall-Off
Ensure the meat mixture is well-combined and slightly sticky. Chill the mixture before forming the kabobs to help them hold their shape. Press the meat firmly onto the skewers.
Serving Suggestions
Serve Kafta Kabob with traditional accompaniments such as hummus, tahini sauce, pita bread, tabbouleh, and grilled vegetables.
