Kafta spice (also spelled kofta or kefta) is an aromatic Middle Eastern spice blend used to season ground meat, typically beef or lamb, for kebabs, meatballs, or patties. The specific combination of spices can vary by region and family recipe, with a popular version often relying on a "seven spice" blend.
Common Ingredients
While variations exist, the core spices typically found in a kafta blend include:
- Cumin: Provides earthy, nutty notes and is a signature of many Middle Eastern blends.
- Coriander: Adds a warm, citrusy flavor that balances the richness of the meat.
- Allspice: Contributes warmth reminiscent of cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves.
- Cinnamon: A key component, adding a subtle sweetness and depth to savory dishes.
- Black pepper: Offers a sharp, vibrant heat.
- Cardamom: Adds a fragrant, floral, and slightly minty freshness.
- Nutmeg: Included in some seven-spice variations.
Beyond the dried spice mix, fresh ingredients are essential to authentic kafta, most commonly finely chopped onions, parsley, and sometimes fresh mint or garlic.
