Instructions

1. 1In a large bowl, combine the about 450 g 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 7.62 cm long. Carefully thread two patties onto each of 4 skewers.
3. 3Preheat your grill to medium heat, which is approximately 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 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.
