In Arab and Mediterranean cuisine, kafta is common. These are skewers of minced meat, spices, and aromatic herbs originating from the Middle East, specifically Lebanon. With an aromatic flavor, though not spicy, their texture and aroma make them very popular with all palates. They are usually eaten with a side of white rice or inside pita bread.
