Perfect Middle Eastern Kofta Kebabs!

[@juliuscaesar4931]

BROOOOO!!! THIS RECIPE WAS INCREDIBLE! I'm middle eastern, this is the best recipe, my family won't stop talking about these kebabs!!

[@MatthewAugusta]

Glad you liked it! I make it gluten free but it’s harder to keep on the skewer

[@ninawilliams3496]

​@@MatthewAugustahow do I get this recipe?

[@sohaibhussain]

It's harder! But we have a little secret that keeps it on the skewer!​@@MatthewAugusta

[@spicerack4397]

I bought the wide skewers but, all the meat fell into the fire. It was a disaster.

[@sohaibhussain]

@@spicerack4397 not the right mixture of meat... It was too loose..

[@skyboundmusic8407]

Bro you deserve million views. Excellent recipe

[@MatthewAugusta]

Thanks bro

[@zarosas8723]

Could not find recipe, please help:)

[@ninawilliams3496]

Can anyone help how do I get the recipe

[@Rigatoni5369]

Tried the recipe today and it smacks

[@MatthewAugusta]

Great to hear!

[@georgew7405]

As an Egyptian, I approve this recipe😋 That's good brother. Tried to put more parsley next time, you want it to look more green. It will change the game. 👌

[@MatthewAugusta]

I’ll give that a try!

[@roseannatorres1127]

I'll add more parsley the next time I make it. Thanks for the tip

[@jamieparrish5143]

Made this tonight and it was AMAZING!

[@MatthewAugusta]

Glad you liked it

[@nidaassociates7441]

Thanx For love our orgin dish

[@Helen-m1o]

Love Middle East food ❤️ Thank you

[@Robin-p7k6e]

As a fellow Egyptian, but my fellow brother, George W7405 said add more parsley. It will change the game and make it more small because in kofta it’s good to be small matter.

[@MatthewAugusta]

[@crisc9280]

Wow. Suddenly I'm hungry again after watching this

[@raniayacoub1770]

Oh La La love your recipe idea Chief!

[@MatthewAugusta]

Thank you!

[@raniayacoub1770]

Any time Mr. Chief🙂

[@Josh-g7d9t]

To help cook evenly, make thumb prints in the meat on the skewer to level out the koobideh. And baste it with butter for good crust

[@MatthewAugusta]

🥂

[@arfriedman4577]

Since I was suggested your channel yesterday, March 18, 2023, I find you to be a top chef. I gave your channel to a few people to watch.

[@MatthewAugusta]

Awesome, thank you! Appreciate that

[@haroutkhatch104]

As an armenian you put too much spices. The onion and cilantro was good along with salt pepper and red pepper. You can mix the beef meat with sheep meat to be nice and juicy

[@crystalkerstal]

@@haroutkhatch104as a KZbin follower of his channel like you, you can add as much or little of any ingredient that you desire🙄

[@rani1634]

I like this recipe kofta kababs looking delicious

[@MatthewAugusta]

🙌🙌

[@Mr.antzelo]

Ahh that's right the combination of Turkish kebabs and Greek tzatziki is perfect

[@MatthewAugusta]

Yes! 🙌🙌🙌

[@sureyyaekinci4630]

How is it like Turkish though , Turks use lamb mince and They don’t put cumin in their Adana kebabs. It looks tasty anyway 👍

[@lizb7035]

As an American living in Egypt, I have to say, these are pretty legit! Love it!

[@MatthewAugusta]

Awesome! Thank you!

[@roseannatorres1127]

Thank you for your recipe. I made it today. It was flavorful, fresh and delicious.

Thank you!!

[@SnowflakeMulti-tool]

I underseasoned, my skewers are in the mail and I used Italian dressing for sauce. This was still amazing!!

[@FierceEQueen]

Yummm!!! I love kofta, it's better to make them at home, more flavor, quality ingredients and lots of portions for less price cause they charge too much just for two or three Kofta kabab

[@MoranisToboggan]

Do you refrigerate after making skewers?

[@MatthewAugusta]

yes!

[@edotedits]

Thanks for sharing

[@MatthewAugusta]

Thanks for watching!

How do you prevent the meat from falling off the skewers

You can add a slice of bread soaked in milk to the meat if you are having trouble
