  • About

I grew up eating this delicious combination of ground beef, parsley, and onions. The traditional shape of kefta is like a hot dog with tapered ends. Growing up, my parents used to shape them into patties and serve them with fried potatoes. That was our version of hamburgers and fries.

Ingredients

For the Fingers

  • 1 pound ground beef (80%)
  • ¾ cup minced yellow onion, squeezed dry
  • ½

Method

Prepare Ahead

The fingers can be prepared early in the day, refrigerated covered, and grilled the same day. Or they can be frozen raw for several weeks. Freeze on a plastic-lined baking sheet, then store in an airtight container. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator and grill as directed.
