Gluten-Free Kafta Skewers with Turmeric Rice

Ingredients

• 1 lb Ground Beef
• 1/2 medium Onion
• 1/4 cup Fresh Parsley
• 1/4 cup Gluten-Free Breadcrumbs
• 1 teaspoon Allspice
• 1/2 teaspoon Cumin
• 1/2 teaspoon Salt
• 1/4 teaspoon Black Pepper
• 1 cup Basmati Rice
• 1/2 teaspoon Turmeric Powder
• 1 tablespoon Olive Oil

Instructions

1. 1In a large bowl, combine the 1 lb ground beef, 1/2 medium onion (grated), 1/4 cup fresh parsley, 1/4 cup gluten-free breadcrumbs, 1 teaspoon allspice, 1/2 teaspoon cumin, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Mix everything together thoroughly with your hands until well combined.
2. 2Shape the beef mixture into 8 small oblong patties, about 3 inches long. Carefully thread two patties onto each of 4 skewers.
3. 3Preheat your grill to medium heat, which is approximately 350°F (175°C).
4. 4Place the kafta skewers on the preheated grill. Cook for 10-14 minutes, turning them every 3-4 minutes, until the beef is cooked through and has an internal temperature of 160°F (71°C).
5. 5While the kafta is grilling, measure 1 cup of basmati rice into a medium saucepan. Add 1/2 teaspoon turmeric powder and 1 tablespoon olive oil to the rice. Add the amount of water recommended on the rice package and bring to a boil.
6. 6Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover the saucepan tightly, and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the water is absorbed and the rice is tender. Let the rice stand, covered, for 5 minutes off the heat before fluffing with a fork.
7. 7Serve the grilled kafta skewers hot alongside the fluffy turmeric rice.
