Chapter · The recipe
A kafta shaped by hand in the heart of Lyon 3
In Lebanese cuisine, kafta, كفتة, is a preparation of minced meat blended with finely chopped flat-leaf parsley, onion and an array of spices. It is a simple yet demanding dish to share: everything rests on the quality of the meat, the freshness of the herbs and the right balance of spices.
Each skewer is shaped by hand then laid over the embers, a quick cooking that keeps the centre moist. Served with its garnishes, it pairs with a creamy hummus or a fragrant tabbouleh to build a true meal to share.
