Egyptian Kofta home made

Ingredients:
1 lb ground beef
1/4 lb ground lamb (optional, if not using then add more ground beef instead)
1/2 cup minced parsley
1 grated small onion
2 minced garlic
1 Tbs salt
1 tsp crushed black pepper
1/2 tsp cumin powder
1 tsp nutmeg
Extra virgin olive oil Spray
1 piece of charcoal
Directions:
~ Mix the onion and garlic with the spices and let it sit in room temperature for 15 minutes
~ Add the meat and the parsley to the onion and mix well. Shape the meat into kofta shapes.
~ Spray the bottom of a large pan with the olive oil. Heat the pan over medium high heat.
~ When the pan is hot, add the koftas and pan fry on all sides. Lower the heat and cover the pan.
~ Let it cook for 5 minutes. Then uncover the pan and let any liquid evaporate.
~ The kofta is now ready to serve or you can continue to the next steps to add the charcoal smokey taste:
~ When cooking the kofta, get the charcoal ready by putting it on a medium high fire until it turns grey.
~ Make a small pocket that will hold the charcoal: Take a piece of aluminium foil (8×8″/20x20cm), fold in half then fold the edges to make the pocket shape.
~ Place 1 Tbs of olive oil and the hot charcoal to the foil.
~ When the kofta is cooked, remove from the heat. Make a hole in the middle of the pan, pushing aside the koftas.
~ Put the foil pocket in that hole and quickly cover the pan. The smoke from the charcoal will fill the pan and infuse the koftas.
~ After 2 minutes, your kofta is ready to be served.
