How to cook deliciously - Chef John's Kofta Kebabs
1. Stage
Cut toasted bread slice into thin strips on a cutting board; cut strips across into a small dice.
2. Stage
Place onion, parsley, and garlic on top of diced bread on the cutting board; chop until mixture resembles tabbouleh.
3. Stage
Season beef and lamb with kosher salt, black pepper, allspice, paprika, cardamom, nutmeg, and cayenne. Add onion mixture and water. Mix and mash with your hands until well combined.
4. Stage
Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate until chilled, at least 1 hour, up to overnight.
5. Stage
Remove meat from the refrigerator and roll ¼ of the mixture into a ball using wet hands. Pierce in the middle with a bamboo skewer. Shape meat into a uniform log, about 6 inches long and 2 inches wide.
6. Stage
Meanwhile, preheat a charcoal grill until coals are very hot.
7. Stage
Place kebabs on the hot grill until browned and cooked through, about 12 minutes, turning every 3 minutes or so. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center of a kebab should read at least 145 degrees F (63 degrees C). Serve. Chef John
