Grilled Beef Kofta Skewers

Our mouth-watering Grilled Beef Kofta Skewers offer a delicious blend of flavors that will satisfy your taste buds with every juicy bite.

Organic grass-fed ground beef ensures each skewer has rich, natural flavors and a succulent texture that delights every mouthful. The beef's robust taste is beautifully complemented by the aromatic punch of minced garlic, which infuses the meat with a subtle flavor.

The grated onion adds sweetness and keeps the kofta moist and tender, while fresh chopped parsley brings a burst of herbal freshness, balancing the savory parts of the dish.

The spice blend makes this recipe flavorful. Salt enhances all the flavors, making each ingredient shine. Cumin adds a warm, earthy depth, while ground cinnamon and allspice introduce a hint of sweet spice that tantalizes the senses. Including ground black pepper, chili powder and crushed red pepper flakes gives the kofta a subtle kick, ensuring a dynamic flavor profile that brings all the flavors together.

Serve these skewers with a refreshing cucumber dill tzatziki dip. The tzatziki's incredible, creamy texture perfectly balances the kofta's bold, spicy flavors, making every bite perfectly refreshing and flavorful.
