Kabab Torsh

Savor the rich flavors of Kabab Torsh, a Persian delight featuring succulent ground lamb or beef marinated in tangy pomegranate molasses and aromatic spices. Perfect for a festive gathering or a cozy weeknight dinner.

• 500 grams ground lamb or beef
• 1 medium onion
• 1 cup pomegranate molasses
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 teaspoon ground spices (cumin, coriander)
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
• 4 skewers metal or soaked wooden skewers

Method

1. 1

   In a large bowl, combine the ground lamb or beef with grated onion, salt, black pepper, and ground spices (if using). Mix well until fully combined.

2. 2

   Add the pomegranate molasses to the meat mixture and stir until well coated. Allow the mixture to marinate for at least 15 minutes for the flavors to meld.

3. 3

   Divide the meat mixture into equal portions and shape each portion around the skewers, pressing firmly to secure the meat to the skewers.

4. 4

   Preheat your grill or barbecue to medium-high heat. Once hot, place the skewers on the grill and cook for about 15-20 minutes, turning occasionally until the meat is cooked through and has a nice char.

5. 5

   Once done, remove the skewers from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes.

6. 6

   Garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving. Serve with rice, bread, or grilled vegetables.
