Armenian Kofta Kebab Recipe

🧂 Ingredients

• 1 lb Ground Beef

  lean (93%) is best
• 1/2 Yellow Onion
• 1/2 cup Flat Leaf Parsley
• 1 tbsp. Tomato Paste
• 1 tbsp. Red Wine
• 2 tsp Sea Salt
• 1 tsp Black Pepper
• 1 tsp. Aleppo Pepper
• 2 tsp. Cumin
• 1/2 tsp. All Spice

Instructions

• 1 Preheat the grill to medium heat, about 400 F. If using wooden skewers, soak
  them prior to grilling.
• 2 In a food processor, combine the onion and parsley and blend until its a paste.
• 3 To a large mixing bowl add the onion and parsley mixture, the ground beef,
  tomato paste, red wine, and the spices. Mix by hand until everything is fully
  combined.
• 4 Divide the beef into eight oblong meatballs that are roughly 3 inches long each.
• 5 Grab a skewer and pat the meatball around the skewer so it holds together around
  it and set them aside on a plate or pan. Repeat this step with each meatball
  until every skewer is prepared.
• 6 Place each skewer over direct heat across oiled grill grates and close the lid.
  Allow the kofta kebabs to sear for about 4-5 minutes before flipping. They
  should easily release from the grill grates when they are ready to be turned.
• 7 Flip and continue to cook an additional 4-5 minutes or until the internal
  temperature is 165 F.
• 8 Remove the kofta kebabs from the grill and plate them with pita, tzatziki,
  salad, or pilaf and enjoy.
