Instructions

1- Prepare the Aromatics:

Place the onion, garlic, parsley, and red bell pepper into a food processor.
Blend until you achieve a finely chopped consistency.

2- Mix the Chicken Kofta:

In a large bowl, combine the ground chicken with the blended aromatics.
Add chicken bouillon, Sazón con todo, salt, black pepper, cayenne pepper, and paprika.
Mix thoroughly to ensure all ingredients are well incorporated.

3- Mix the Beef Kofta:

In another bowl, combine the ground beef with the blended aromatics.
Add salt, paprika, cayenne pepper, allspice, and black pepper.
Mix thoroughly until well combined.

4- Form the Patties:

Using your hands, shape the chicken and beef mixture into small, even-sized patties.

5- Cook the Kofta Patties:

Heat a bit of oil in a skillet over medium heat.
Fry the chicken and beef patties separately until they are cooked through and browned on both sides—about 4-5 minutes per side.
Remove from the skillet and let them rest on a plate.

Lightly toast the sandwich rolls or pita bread.
Place a few kofta patties inside the bread and serve with optional fried potatoes or your favorite sides.
