Kufta is the Hebrew word for meatball, similar to Lebanese kofta or Greek kefta. Ground sumac has a reddish-purple color and lemony flavor, a great addition to spice rubs and vinaigrettes. If you can't find it, substitute 1 teaspoon grated lemon rind.

Have sumac and like using it. Flavor is good but the meatballs totally fell apart. First when I was trying to skewer and then on the grill. What a total mess. I know somehow people are suscessful at putting ground meat on a skewer but for me it is always a hot mess. There is no binding agent. Maybe if you chop the onions up more? I won't make this mess again. Might do burgers though?

I was unable to find sumac so I used the lemon zest suggestion. These were delicious!

My husband is a big kefta fan. I am not all that crazy about lamb but this was really flavorful. The combination of lamb and ground beef worked well. We will definitely make this again.
