Ingredients
Instructions
Kofta mixture - In the food processor, chop the onions, garlic, and parsley. Then, add the ground meat and pulse a few times more. Next, add the breadcrumbs, spices, seasoning, and lemon juice. Pulse until thoroughly combined but still very coarse.
Kebabs - Shape a handful of the mixture around a skewer, forming an elongated kebab shape. Press with your fingers to create impressions that will create char marks. Repeat this process with the remaining meat mixture. Make sure the koftas are evenly sized and compact.
Grill - Heat your stovetop grill on medium-high or preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).
Stovetop - Place the kebabs on the preheated grill and brush them lightly with oil to prevent sticking and promote browning. Cook for 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally, until they are brown and cooked through.
Oven - Place the baking sheet with the kebabs in the oven and bake for about 15-20 minutes, or until the kebabs are brown and cooked through.
Rest - Once cooked, remove the kebabs from the grill or oven and let them rest for a few minutes before serving.
Serve the kofta kebabs hot with pita bread, tzatziki sauce, hummus, or a fresh salad.
