Beef Kofta

• 1 medium onion
• 4 cloves garlic
• 1 c fresh parsley
• 2 tbsp fresh mint, finely chopped
• 1 ½ lb ground beef
• 1 slice of white bread
• 1 tsp cumin
• 1 tsp turmeric
• ½ tsp cardamom
• 1 tsp paprika
• Pinch of cinnamon
• ½ tsp red pepper flake
• 2 tsp kosher salt
• ½ tsp black pepper

If using wooden skewers, soak for at least 30 minutes in 3 cups of water.

Pulse in a food processor onion, garlic, parsley and mint to a fine paste. Add the ground beef, white bread, spices, salt and pepper. Puree until evenly incorporated.

Divide mixture into portions the size of a lemon. Use your hands to press into a log around a bamboo skewer so that it is about 1” diameter and 3-4” long.

Grill over direct heat, about 4 minutes per side and serve with Primal Kitchen Special Sauce.

If grilling over an open flame, protect the skewer ends and keep them from burning by creating a grill guard out of a piece of foil folded into thirds and laying down between the wooden skewer end and the cooking grid.

Great paired with Primal Kitchen's Special Sauce.
