Chelo Kabab Koobideh
Chelo Kabab Koobideh literally translates to white rice with ground beef kabab. The kababs are made out of ground beef or lamb, mixed with grated onion, turmeric, sumac, and saffron. The ground meat mix is the wrapped around skewers, then either grilled or broiled. It happens to be -20 degrees right now in MN, so they were thrown under the broiler. They only take 15 minutes total cooking time, flipping half way through. The kababs are always served with rice and grilled onions and tomatoes. I also made a garlic mint yogurt sauce to serve with them.
Ingredients
