Isn't it so awesome that TH-cam allows us to learn recipes from different cultures/countries at a click? So far, I'm a boss at famous Jamaican, Nigerian, British and now Lebanese dishes! Thanks for sharing!
I agree, Earth dishes are very amazing! I'm really going to miss it when its gone.
Create a grand synthesis of JamoLebUK-Nigerian cuisine. I suggest jerk yam fish and chip flat breads with olive oil and Houmas. But, you know, it's up to you.
Allows us….
Yes, it’s so much more affordable than going to Lebanon or other Far/Middle Eastern countries! Thank you to everyone who shares their culture via the amazing recipes!
mind blowing 🥴 before internet people actually bought recipe books (like me) so,, just like before kindle destroyed(libraries) and buying physical books, now everyone reads online.. it's not that amazing love.Just the same as online music has made sales in vinyl, CDs etc drop massively too.
I made your recipe tonight for dinner with ground lamb. Came out excellent! Thanks! I’m Ordering some flat skewers today like the ones you use.
Oh wow. Love Lebanese food (All Middle Eastern cuisine) and this video was great. Thanks a million!
The best thing about this video is that it's so precise and accurate.
I tried your recipe and my family and I loved it. We try to do as many dishes as we can now that we’re on lockdown. so we decided to do some Middle East dishes and searching TH-cam we stumble on your channel. Congratulations.

Had these for the first time years ago at a Middle Eastern restaurant in the US and they were delicious. Haven't found them since, but now I can try to make them on my own. Thank you!
This made me so hungry! thank you for sharing with us.
This recipe is so delicious! Easy to make and everyone loves it. Thank you so much for posting.
I will make them during these holidays, thank you for posting.

Hey, thanks for the recipe. I made this kofta for dinner tonight and it was super fabulous. Cheers
I really appreciate that you mentioned adding parsley for those like me that don’t like mint. A fantastic video.
I was going to walk 500 miles to buy this, but now I can stay and eat this all-day every day. Thank you sir
I didn't know the spice mixture, I used to buy it in the packet. Thanks so much for this recipe!
The looks so good. Thank you!
We just came back from the mediterranean supermarket at north tampa, we bought kafta, it was spectacular, I had to google it up and search it on youtube, didn't notice so much onion nor the amount of mint on the one I bought, I will try your recipe for sure. My mom used to make us Kibbeh and tabbouleh, it was so good! Thank you so much for sharing your recipe!
Tried it, came out fantastic, gonna try more of your recipes. Thank you mate - and subscribed 😃
Will definitely have to try this recipe. Hope it turns out as good as this. Love the Kofta presentation as well. Good job and awaiting more!!! Love from India
Great work Henry! It looks delicious! Subscribed 🙂
Excellent . Videos & recipes keep them coming . I try to make every one of them .THANKS .
They sound delicious. Thank you Henry. You make cooking so simple.🥰💖😊👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Hi Henry! I rarely comment on a cooking video that I've tried but you really deserve one. I made the exact recipe you mentioned and my fiance, roommates, and coworker said it is amazing! It is even better than most of the shawarma and kebab places here in Dubai. You're amazing and so talented! Keep up with your amazing cooking! And thanks for sharing it
What? Do you want a medal? For no comments
@@gredak5379 how shallow your mind can be haha. I didn't ask for medals, what I said is clearly a compliment to him cos his recipe is so good 🤣
Hey, made these for a bbq the other day and they were absolutely delicious, thanks for the recipe :)
Why would Anyone give this a thumbs down? This is sooooooo delicious!! Thank you for all your videos!!
Thank you for the great explanation and for the recipe. I'm looking forward to making them!!
I make this often and it is FABULOUS! I let it set over night before I make it! Soooooo fragrant and intense!
I absolutely love watching you cook middle eastern food! You make it look simple and easy to do but most importantly DELICIOUS 🤤 🤤 also Authentic well at least to a Mexican lol!
Thank you, chef! Absolutely delicious recipe!
It's an Art, just beautiful.
Thank you for the recipe.. its my favourite and has been trying to get the recipe
Where do you get the recipe?
Last weekend we had a BBQ and it was our highlight. Thank you so much for the recipe. So delicious
Henry’s really good. If anyone’s the expert in great tasting barbecue, it’s him. (I don’t know him personally but I have applied what I’ve seen from what he does and all of it just works)
Cfyup😢l😮😮and 😢😮
Your recipes looks amazing... thanks for sharing and for the inspiration... hope the business is going strong despite the current challenges 👏👏👏
Another great video, Chef. Thank You for sharing. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Hello from Armenia, thank you Henry a talented Chef!
Thankyou engeres 🇦🇲
Nice! Mint Kafta.. Refreshing
I've always made the American-styled ones with stabbing onions, peppers, and pineapple between steak. But I watched a show recently with the street-style versions of this dish and can't wait to try this. Red sumac was the only thing I had to track down on amzon. thank you !
I will try this recipe tonight. Thank you for sharing.
I'm doing this for sure , even my fussy wife will love these . Thanks for the video mate
I always enjoy your videos, nice recipe but I add about 20% of ground lamb and chopped parsley and little bit of ground allspice to my kofta , thanks for sharing brother and merry Christmas. Greetings from Dallas Texas
Michael Habib try added cilantro instead of the parsley.
I can’t describe in words how much I loved the video.👌
Glad to hear it! 🙏
Thank u for getting to the point
This is my go -to recipe.
Beautiful! I'm Lebanese and kafta is one of my favourites! These skewers would be delicious in a Lebanese bread wrap with hummus!
Is the Lebanese bread same as pita bread?
@@periwinkle76 They're both flatbreads so they're commonly lumped together, but no they're quite different. Lebanese bread is thinner, more flexible, and tends to be sweeter. It also tends to be much larger (up to an arm's length in diameter). There are varieties of course, different sizes and tastes, but generally the main difference is the thinness. If you held pita in your palm it would stay flat, Lebanese bread will flop down.
Lb bread also has a "white" side and a "brown" side, and people tend to prefer one or the other :D (I prefer the white side, tastes milkier and sweeter!) We separate the two sides and use either for a wrap, although restaurants tend to use the whole thing to prevent ripping.
We also have markook bread which is _even_ thinner and larger and a different taste. But anyway, none of those are the same as pita.
Due to its thickness and better rigidity, pita bread will usually be cut in half and used as a "pocket", with food placed inside it.
With Lebanese bread you usually make a wrap.

PS. as I live in Lebanon I've only seen pita bread in videos and photos and such, so maybe I am overlooking varieties of pita that are perfectly similar to Lebanese bread, but hopefully the pics I shared show the main distinctions.
@@bassemb thanks for the link. Its definitely thinner than pita bread.
I made a whole jar of this spice mixture and use it as an all purpose seasoning for my Middle Eastern inspired red meat dishes. It was such a hit that I gave small jars of it as gifts last Christmas to all my friends!
Hi there,
Nice suggestion there in ur comment. However would u know how long does the Onion mixture last, if bottled?
@@reinerdxb only bottle the spices, not the actual raw chopped onion. Alternatively you could use onion powder instead of chopping onions.
Do you sure this is Lebanese recepies???
This is Iranian Kobideh kabab
Thanks for the great lesson 😀
Take care from Montréal,Québec
Looks great, gonna try it at the weekend!
I will try this.
You are such an awesome chef I really love the way you cook Iam an Indian but still I like all your dishes and never miss any video of urs thanks for uploading chef.
Krithika Kandhasamy please subscribe to my channel please subscribe to me u will be very appreciated I also make desi food recipes
Looks great! I’m going to give this a try! Thanks
Im gonna make this soon. BTW, love the smart way you cut the onion. Tumbs up
Hi Henry, love your videos! I had a quick question: when do you prefer to use the thin vs the thicker skewers? Is it mostly based on tradition (e.g. Persian Kooidehs on thick ones, vs these Lebanese ones on thin)?
Hey Albert, I know that he may be busy and not have much time to reply to all comments but just wanted to help you out. Yes I can confirm that Persian koobideh is on very thick and flattened skewers, I’m personally Persian so I grew up with koobideh however Lebanese kafta is made on the thin and skinny skewers, doesn’t necessarily have to be legendary, almost all types of kaftas are made on a thin skewer. Glad I could help!
Thank you - always adored Lebanese kofta and you just made it look soo easy - these are going on my lock-down shopping list tomorrow :-)
We had our first BBQ of the year yesterday and I made these - they were a great hit with the family. They are now on my BBQ must have list - thanks for your fantastic videos and also the ingredients listings and instructions - all simple and easy to follow. I want to get some flat skewers like the ones you use - can you tell me the width of the ones you use pls? I have some i've seen which are 2cm wide but i'm not sure that's wide enough - appreciate if you could share and thank you in advance :-)
WOW. Gonna make these next camping trip, maybe.
So impressed with your technique!! GOT to subscribe.
It's 3:06 AM and I'm watching your amazing videos, Henry. And yes, I'm now super hungry, lol. Awesome recipe, I will definitely give it a go! Have a great Sunday, buddy! ;)
Same I too is hungry
You’re amazing!
This looks sooooo good. I absolutely love kofta
These look sensational! Can't wait to try.
Love your videos! Every time I try one though, the meat falls off the skewer onto the grill. When I try to turn them over, the meat falls off. Have tried everything, but no joy. So, I usually end up just making burger patties from your recipes, and then grilling. Still good, but wish I could do what you do.
My mom who grew up in the middle east can't do the skewers either, we just do patties and bake them, I prefer doing them in a pan because you can get a char on them.
@@samuel88andrews The char is the great part, and you can see how Henry gets a great char. I make them as patties on a really hot grill, but the skewered shape gives you more surface area and more char, so really wish I could master that.
@@paulmcwhorter yeah I feel that man, your best bet is to date an Arab and steal some family recipes and techniques. When I ask my mom how to cook Arab food it takes her a while to tell me exactly what I need to add in because we cook by feeling not by measurement like in western cooking which is confusing at first but after 3 to 4 times of making anything you get the hang of it. I have mastered our version of "kofta" which we call kefta but other than that I always need to call mom to ask her what to do.
Just try to turn them every 45 seconds. It will work.
Paul McWhorter check this video out Paul. It covers everything that could go wrong. Practice makes perfect, I promise!

What was the fat content of the ground beef you used? 80/20, 70/30? I could imagine it making a difference on how well it maintains its shape and how well it holds onto the skewer while cooking. Looks delicious.
It's really better with ground lamb. Fresh ground lamb, like from a butcher.
Well done legend! Tryed these , absolutely beautiful
top work as always. what sort of temps are you getting from your grill?
Looks beautiful..i'm going to have to look for a similar skewer
You can find those in Middle Eastern shops
I got mine on Amazon.
me too
@@yodabeeshdc8275 what's the name to these skever?
socrates jr I got mine through Amazon. Search for “+hom Kabob 1" Wide Skewers, 23.5" Long, Heavy Duty Stainless Steel, No-Wood Handle, Perfect for Koobideh Persian/Brazilian Style, Set of 8”
love to all my Lebanese friends from a sad Iranian
loveeee your recipes! i added pomegranate molasses in addition to everything u did and came out fantastic !
My mouth is watering! Have to try this & share!👍
this recipe looks amazing. i was in glendale ca which has the largest armenian population in america from what i'm told. anyway this one guy in a little grocery shop make me a lebanese sandwich on lavash bread. i can't remember what the other ingredients were but i would love to get a recipe if you have one? and are there traditional toppings or ingredients that are a must have on these sandwiches do you know? Thank you and keep up the great work, i will definitely be making this!
They look very delicious as always :-) and Thank you, for sharing Henry, :-)
Kofta is on of my favorite dishes, and your recipe looks looks quite easy to prepare. I will try making your kofta this weekend.
Q: have you any videos on how to prepare a good yogurt or tahini sauce for this dish?
Thank you so much!!!
Looks great! Thanks for sharing
Ingredients:
Onion bulb
Mint leaves
Salt
Red sumac
Black pepper
Cumin
Paprika
Cinnamon
Cardamom
Garlic cloves
Olive oil
This tastes soooo gooood! Thanks for sharing how to cook!
Cumin wtf 🤢🤢 I don't think you add that
@@AmyJenkins Cumin is extremely common in all lamb dishes, not just in middle eastern food
@@AmyJenkins I don’t think your IQ is above 4
Looks soo good ..I miss lebanese food back home 😖 ..
Look forward to making this ..Thanks 😊
I made this and I neighbors could not stop eating it! You the MAN!!!
Very good recipe,thank you for sharing
Simple yet very tasty! Good skills chef👍
P.s Lamb is my fav slow cooked with a nice gravy n loads of mint sauce. Dont need anything more in life haha.
mint pesto we always make it home am not italian but from a country 60 km from Italy in the southern Mediterranean
Im going to make this on christmas eve for the first time hopefully i dont mess it up
If you made it, how did it turn out for you?😊
@@saraseaman4657 it was good but i didn't put it on skewers i just made burgers with the recipe and it was pretty good
I tried it in the oven, very dry, the meat must have a higher fat content to remain tender.
Dang that looks so good!!! Great job!!!
i always enjoy your videos ...keep them comin
and one more thing, could you please tell us the name(brand) of your grill
3 words: Yum Yum Yum
years ago I had some Lebanese food, my favorite was ground meat, could have been lamb and beef combo with pine nuts in the center. Does that sound familiar to anyone? I would love to make those someday.
Was it possibly kibbeh?
@@HenrysHowTos Yes!! I found it on your channel right after posting my question. Thanks so much for confirming this. Can't wait to eat it again after soooo many years.
I want to make it with less wheat, have you done that before? I didn't type Kaboolie because I don't know how to spell it..
Petepan yes it shouldn’t be a problem! ☺️
@@HenrysHowTos Bulgar was the name I was looking for, I got Tabbouleh in the mix somehow.
Thanks Henry, I appreciate your feed back.
I cannot stress how delicious the kibbeh were, probably one of the most delicious dishes I have ever had, couldn't get enough of them. I'll let you know how they turn out, hopefully I can get to them soon.
Thank you for sharing. Will come in handy in Ramadan just around the corner.
thank you so much for the recipe!!
These are Great drizzled with Alabama White Sauce!
Who doesn’t want to have grilled beef on a stick....Looks delicious
I can't wait to make these this summer!!
Watching from London, thanks for sharing, i'll copy ur cooking,well done.
Can i make this with lamb meat instead of beef?
Yes for sure
what happened to the seventh one? Hmm? ;) No worries. I d do the same. :)
Excellent recipe.Thanks.
Cheers Henry.I'm going to give this a go.Just Amazoned my order for Sumak.Cheers
How did it go??...I ordered myself a packet of Sumac and arabic 7 spices..I could only make one skewer.. second fell into the grill...third won't get on skewer...I got so frustrated I took out pan put it on grill added some oil and made patties out of all the lamb mince. But second time I brought new flat skewers and chicken mince and sucessfully made 15 kebabs.
Looks extremely satisfying putting them on the sword.
Smells good
We don't have these types of grill so suggest us how to cook without this charcoal grill chef
Krithika Kandhasamy You can put this in the oven on an oven tray right under the broiler. Make sure it’s very close to the fire. Be careful not to burn it. Flip it halfway through
that is a gas grill.commercial for restaurants
You can use both, but gas is better.
Some people put it in the toaster oven.
I have bought a utility to make this food . Its works amazing. can try from below link:
www.ebay.com/itm/283766606206
Great video, you get right to the point.
This looks absolutely amazing 👏🏻 thank you new friend 💛🙏🏻
With all due respect
I am Lebanese,
Yes we use a pinch of mint
But PARSLEY the most important ingredient and a lot of it.
Thx
And sorry dude
Egg zaktly 👍🏻
الكفتة بلا بقدونس مش كفتة
I am falling in love with Lebanese guy, hopefully i could win his hearth using food, thank you for the recipe. Any tips how to conquer Lebanese heart? in case the food doesnt work. ❤️
Food always works!!! Trust me !
Yes. Make him mutabbal batenjen (eggplant mash) and tabboule
The way to a man's hearth is through his chimney.
It's practically a fable.
My advice is u just ask him u want to try his kofta babab
very awsome....I'm gonna try this
This looks great! I’m doing it right now. I bough red sumac just BC I wanted to see what it taste like. Now I actually have a use for it; thanks.
i've visit 31 countries, lebanese food is the best i've ever tried and the pakistanis food is second
Make people eat the kebabs at the end to really enjoy the video.
My mouth is watering. Great food and great video too. Thanks
Thank you 😋
Nice. Great video. Easy to follow and great result ;)
