Lebanese BBQ – Kafta
Kafta are Lebanese sausage-shaped meatballs, and as easy to make as that would suggest. They can be eaten as they are with side dishes or incorporated into wraps.

Ingredients
- 500g minced lamb (low fat)
- ½ large onion
- ½ bunch flat-leaf parsley
- ½ tsp dry or fresh mint
- ¼ tsp kafta spice
- ¼ tsp black pepper
- ½ tsp sea salt
Serving suggestion
- Pita bread
- Muhammara
- Onion
- Sumac
Method
- 1Place the onion in a food processor and pulse for a few seconds, then add the parsley and mint and pulse until evenly distributed. Add the spices.
- 2Place the mixture in a bowl, add the minced lamb and mix well with your hands.
- 3Dip your hands in cold water to prevent the meat from sticking and mould into sausage shapes.
- 4Place on a barbecue or grill and cook evenly on all sides until golden brown.
- 5To serve: spread Muhammara on the base of a pita, top with the kafta, then add some raw onion mixed with sumac.
