Beef Kofta with Rice

Ingredients

• •1.5 lbs ground beef
• •1 medium onion, finely minced
• •1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
• •1/4 cup fresh mint, chopped
• •2 tsp ground cumin
• •1 tsp ground coriander
• •1/2 tsp cayenne pepper
• •1 tsp salt
• •1.5 cups long-grain rice
• •3 cups beef or chicken broth (gluten-free)
• •2 tbsp olive oil
• •1 lemon, cut into wedges

Directions

1. 1Mix ground beef, minced onion, parsley, mint, cumin, coriander, cayenne pepper, and salt in a bowl until combined. Divide into 12 portions and mold onto skewers, pressing firmly.
2. 2Heat olive oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Grill kofta for 8-10 minutes, turning occasionally, until cooked through.
3. 3In a separate pot, rinse rice under cold water. Heat 1 tbsp olive oil and lightly toast rice for 1-2 minutes.
4. 4Add broth to the rice, bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 18-20 minutes until tender.
5. 5Fluff rice with a fork and serve alongside kofta with lemon wedges on the side.

💡 Beef kofta mixture should be chilled if it feels soft; cold fat helps the meat stay on skewers or hold a patty shape.
