Instructions
If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes before grilling. Prepare a gas or charcoal grill for cooking at high heat with clean and well oiled grates. (If using a stovetop proceed to the next step).
Mix together the ground meat, herbs, spices, onion, and garlic in a large bowl. Split the meat mixture evenly for each skewer. Roll the meat into a cylindrical shape and push the sharp point of the skewer into the meat.
Grill the skewers, turning frequently until the meat is about 135°F internally - about 15 minutes. If cooking indoors, roll the meat mixture into large oval shapes and cook in a skillet. Set to medium heat until the kofta reaches an internal temperature of 135°F .
Pull off the grill and let the meat rest for ten minutes before removing from the skewer. Serve on the warmed lavash or flatbread with onion, feta, hummus, and herbs.
