Ingredients

Yellow onion, grated
1/2
Garlic cloves
4
Fresh parsley or cilantro, chopped
1/2 cup
Fresh mint, chopped
1/2 cup
Paprika
3 Tbsp
Kosher Salt
2 tsp
Cayenne Pepper
1 tsp
Lavash or Flatbread
8-10
To serve:
Hummus
1 cup
Feta cheese, crumbled
1 cup
Red onion, sliced
1
Fresh herbs
to taste

Utensils

  • Large mixing bowl
  • Skewers (wooden or metal)
  • Meat thermometer
  • Tongs

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.
