Bison Kafta

20 minutes

Ground buffalo is mixed with finely minced onion, garlic, and parsley, then enhanced with a blend of warm and earthy spices like cumin, oregano, and sumac. Grilled to juicy perfection, these kabobs are quick, easy to prepare, and full of flavor. Whether hosting a barbecue or craving something hearty, these kabobs are an excellent choice. For a delicious, home-cooked feast, serve them with your favorite sides, like rice, tzatziki sauce, vegetables, or flatbread. We also whipped up a batch of marinated red onions that take this dish up a notch. You can find the recipe for them in the notes below.
Directions
- Place the ground bison in a large bowl, and gather all other ingredients.
- Grate the onion and garlic and finely chop the parsley. Add the onion mixture to the bowl with the bison meat and then add all of the spices.
- Mix well using clean hands until all the ingredients are fully incorporated.
- Divide the mixture into eight equal parts. Form the meat into an oblong shape on the skewers.
- Place the skewered meat on a plate and place in the refrigerator for ten minutes while you preheat the grill. This will help the meat stay together as you transfer it to the grill.
- Preheat an outdoor grill to medium-high heat (450-500°F) and lightly grease the grates with a high smoke point oil like avocado oil.
- Carefully place each skewer on the preheated and greased grill. Grill for about 6-8 minutes.
- Gently flip the skewers only when the meat pulls away from the grates easily and grill marks have formed on the bottom. Grill on the other side for an additional 3-4 minutes until cooked through.
- Transfer the kabobs to a plate and let them rest for about five minutes before serving. Be sure to pour any accumulated juices over the kabobs before serving with your favorite sides.
- ENJOY!
