Only 7 ingredients are needed for these moist and flavorful grilled kafta kebabs.
I was honored and excited when Hadia asked me to review her cookbook, Hadia Lebanese Style Recipes. I was blown away when I received her beautiful cookbook, which by the way, is the size of a college textbook filled with 600 recipes. I feel like I am with Hadia reading every recipe.
I can not imagine the time, energy and dedication it took to create this incredible cookbook. It is very detailed and enticing. Each photograph is beautifully shown. I read and re-read through the cookbook many times, wracking my brain with what recipe I would choose to represent Hadia’s cookbook in a fair and representational way.
I usually lean towards desserts, but I was contemplating what to serve my family for dinner. So I made my choice~ Grilled Kafta Kebabs! I love easy recipes, and Hadia delivers more than her share of easy and mouth-watering recipes from soups, appetizers, salads, eggs, main courses and pastries, desserts in Lebanese recipes, French recipes, Mediterranean recipes, Italian recipes, and American recipes.
Hadia ‘s cookbook is so diversified and clearly reaches such a large audience, that it would be impossible for anyone to read the cookbook and not see an enticing recipe. This cookbook shows step by step recipes that are easy to follow, resulting in a perfect meal and dessert.
I have been a fan of Lebanese cuisine for years and decided to choose an authentic Grilled Kafta Kebabs. Only 7 ingredients are needed for these moist and flavorful kebabs. The weather has been so mild in Maine this winter that we have actually been grilling. I served these delicious Kebabs with hummus and salad and pita bread.

Place all ingredients in a large bowl.
Mix with spoon or hands until completely mixed.
Roll into 15 golf ball-sized meatballs.
Insert a skewer into each golf ball portion and shape with your palms into a log.
Cook the kebabs on the grill to your likeness. Medium well done is a great choice.
Serve with hummus, Tortellini Caprese Salad, Country Potato Salad, and pita bread.
Enjoy this wonderful Lebanese treat!

I would use 1 lb. ground lamb and 1 lb. ground beef. Also, find a flat style shish as they hold together best. Serve also with pilah and chefs suggestions.... Tzatziki too and an Israeli salad with tomatoes and cucumber and parsley and lemon juice and salt and pepper!
