Kiftah Recipe (PP Days)

Kiftah is a Middle Eastern recipe. It's really good and tasty.

I don't have an exact recipe, because i eye ball everything when i do this. But here's an estimate and hopefully it will work out for you.

2 LB ground beef (usually it's made from Lamb, but beef is a lighter version and it works well)
1 onion, finely chopped
1 cup parsley, finely chopped
2 1/2 tsp salt, or to taste
1 1/2 tsp pepper
1 1/2 tsp allspice

Mix everything together very well using your hands. (as if it's a dough). Then take small chuncks of it and turn them into a patty. (you can do it any size you want). Then it'll be ready to cook. We usually grill it. But it can also be placed in the oven, or gently sauteed (with a little bit of olive oil). Cook it until it's done.
Another way to make it is to make it to shape it like a "hot dog" and put it on skewers for grilling.

Also, a dipping sauce can be made. Fat free plain yoghurt, mix some minced garlic in it and a little pinch of cumin/ or dijon mustard. For (PV) days you can add thinly chopped cucumber to the yoghurt mix (like Tazziki sauce).

I usually make a lot and put them in the freezer for later use.

Hope you enjoy this recipe, i sure do! :) Bon Apetite!
