Masta the Kafta with these pro moves 💥 1. Don’t overmix: Overmixing ground meat mixtures like kafta can result in a denser, tougher texture. This happens due to the development of myosin, a type of protein that acts as a binding agent. When ground meat is mixed, especially if it is mixed vigorously, the myosin develops more fully and can result in a rubbery texture. Mix just until the ingredients are evenly distributed to keep the meat tender and juicy. 2. Finely chop ingredients: Make sure onions, and herbs are finely minced. This will help the mixture bind together better. 3. Refrigerate the mixture: Before forming the kafta, refrigerate the mixture for at least 30 minutes. This helps the ingredients to meld together and makes it easier to shape the kebabs. 4. Wet your hands: When shaping the kebabs, wet your hands with cold water or oil to prevent the mixture from sticking to your fingers. This will make it easier to form the kebabs and keep them intact. 5. Preheat the grill: Make sure your grill or pan is properly preheated before placing the kebabs on it. This helps to sear the outside quickly, locking in the juices and preventing the kebabs from falling apart. 👉🏻Here’s your ingredient list: 1 ½ lbs ground beef ¼ cup minced fresh parsley ¼ cup minced fresh mint ½ cup grated onion 1 T minced garlic 1 ½ t ground coriander 1 ½ t ground cumin ½ t cinnamon 1 ¼ t kosher salt ½ t pepper 👉🏻Full recipe at https://foodess.com/juicy-beef-kafta/ or tap through clickable link in bio where you can also shop all the ingredients.
