Kafta (Meat Fingers) with Tahini Recipe

Kafta (Meat Fingers) with Tahini Recipe

  • 3/4 pound ground beef
  • salt and ground black pepper to taste
  • 1 cup water
  • 3/4 cup tahini
  • 1/4 cup lemon juice
  • 1/2 teaspoon mixed spices
  1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
  2. Place beef in a bowl, season with salt and pepper and mix to combine. Form into 6 small finger shapes, place on an ungreased baking sheet.
  3. Bake in the preheated oven until starting to brown, about 7 minutes.
  4. Combine water, tahini, lemon juice, mixed spices, salt, and pepper in a bowl; whisk until tahini is dissolved and fluffy, about 5 minutes.
  5. Transfer tahini mixture to a saucepan over low heat; cook and stir constantly until simmering, about 3 minutes. Add meat fingers to saucepan. Simmer, stirring occasionally, until meat is fully cooked and no longer pink inside, about 30 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 160 degrees F (70 degrees C).
