Kaftas are a Lebanese meatball skewer typically made with lean ground beef. Organic Prairie’s 90% Lean Ground Beef is the perfect meat for this easy and delicious recipe! I serve these with classic hummus as a dipping sauce and veggies for a simple alternative to a burger that is much healthier option!

Ingredients
-
1 pound Organic Prairie 90% Lean Ground Beef
- 1/4 cup organic diced yellow onion
- 1 teaspoon organic lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon fine sea salt
- 3/4 teaspoon organic black pepper
- 1 teaspoon organic minced garlic
- 1 teaspoon organic dried oregano
- 1/2 teaspoon organic dried thyme
- 1 tablespoon organic extra virgin olive oil
- Organic Hummus, for serving
- Organic Cucumbers, for serving
- Organic Cherry Tomatoes, for serving
- Organic Kalamata Olives, for serving
- Organic Bagel Chips or crackers (optional)
Directions
- In a large bowl, add the ground beef, diced onion, lemon juice, sea salt, pepper, garlic, oregano, and thyme. Mix together until combined and the spices are evenly distributed.
- Divide the meat into 8 portions. Using your hands form each portion into an oblong shape about 1-inch thick. Wrap the meat around a 6-inch skewer. Place on a plate and continue with the rest of the meat.
- In a large grill pan, or on the grill, heat to medium/high. Add the olive oil to coat the pan.
- Place the kabobs onto the grill pan and sear, cook for about 8 to 10 minutes, rotating every few minutes to ensure even cooking and grill marks on each side.
- Serve with hummus, chopped cucumbers, Cherry tomatoes, and Kalamata olives.
