These homemade Kafta kebabs can be made with lamb, beef or a half and half mixture of both. Use our recipe for Baharat using the grinding mill, then use the Duo Prep chopper bowl to finely chop onions followed by parsley, then finely process the diced red meat. Once shaped the kafta can be grilled or cooked on a BBQ, on a griddle pan on the hob, or in the oven.

Make a quick garlic sauce in the chopper bowl, then serve with flat breads, salad and tabbouleh or rice.
