Creating Lebanese Kafta Kebabs can be simple if you follow these straightforward steps:

2. Mix Thoroughly: Use your hands to combine all ingredients well until they are uniformly mixed.
3. Shape the Mixture: Take a handful of the meat mixture and mold it around the skewers, pressing firmly to ensure it stays on.
4. Marinate (optional): For enhanced flavor, cover and refrigerate the skewers for about 30 minutes.
5. Preheat the Grill: Heat your grill to medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking.
