Beef Koftas (Ground Beef On Skewers) - cooking recipe

Ingredients

2 lbs ground beef
2 onions, chopped
1 slice soft bread
1/2 cup milk
salt, pepper
1/2 teaspoon cumin
1/4 teaspoon chili powder
1 pinch allspice
6 bamboo skewers (or metal)

Preparation

If using bamboo skewers, soak in water for at least 1 hour.
If you can, run the beef and onions through a food grinder twice. If you don't have a grinder, pulse the onion in a food processor until chopped finely and then add the beef and pulse until it reaches quite a fine consistency. Place in a bowl.
Soak bread in milk and add to meat together with the seasonings.
Mix well and form into football shaped meatballs 2-3 inch in diameter. About 2 or 3 meatballs should fit on each skewer. You can shape them right on the skewers.
Grill on skewers until cooked through.
