Special Thanks to Pitmaster Andrew Plaza from Double Aces BBQ for sharing several unique game-day recipes that will help everyone enjoy the FIFA Club Cup soccer events this June.
June brings us international football and, of course, my love of blending food!
Egyptian Kofta Kebabs bring a bold, savoury flavour in every bite. Made from spiced ground beef or lamb, grilled to perfection, they’re simple but deeply satisfying. I love the smoky char and the warm spices like cumin—it’s a dish that feels rugged and resilient, much like Egypt’s powerful and determined presence in world football.
