Ingredients
- 2 pounds 80/20 ground beef
- 2 tablespoons ghee
- 1 whole yellow onion, grated
- 1 tablespoon garlic, finely minced
- 1 teaspoon saffron, crushed
- 1/4 cup ice cubes
- 1/2 tablespoon coriander
- 1/4 teaspoon turmeric
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 tablespoon salt
- 1/2 tablespoon smoked paprika
Method
- Crush the saffron in a bowl, add the ice cubes, and let the ice melt so the saffron steeps into the water.
- Stir the grated onion, garlic, saffron water, coriander, turmeric, black pepper, salt and smoked paprika together, then work the mixture and the ghee into the ground beef until completely homogenous.
- Heat the oven to 450°F. Shape the beef onto skewers in lengths of about 8 to 12 inches, pressing with your thumb and pinching with your fingers as you move down each kabob to form the ridged bumps along its length.
- Lay the kabobs on a parchment-lined tray and bake for 10 to 15 minutes, until cooked through.
- Broil for a few minutes at the end until the tops char lightly, then serve the kabobs hot.
