My sister and I got to enjoy so many traditional foods in Brazil while visiting over the Summer! We will be bringing our favorite recipes to this blog each week. Starting today with Kafta!
Kafta is a simple yet delicious traditional barbecue. You can find it at any street corner BBQ cart or restaurant. Our grandma is a great cook and growing up she always made it for us and we LOVED it!
Kafta Portion size: 16 skewers
- 1 pound of ground beef
- 1 pound of ground Italian sausage
- 1/4 of an onion
- 1 tablespoon of garlic
- 1 egg
- 5 tablespoons of flax seeds or bread crumbs
- Cilantro (a handful)
- Oregano, salt, & any other meat seasoning.
Instructions: Chop onions and cilantro (only the leaves, pick them from the stems and throw stems out) and add them to the bowl along with the garlic. Add a pinch of all of the seasonings. Add meats and the rest of the ingredients. Mix well! If should feel sticky! Soak your wood skewers in warm water for 15-30 minutes so they don’t burn on the grill. Shape the meat on to the skewer and put them on the grill until they are browned on both sides.
Enjoy with whatever sides you would like!
Enjoy!
