Cooking Instructions:
Step 1: In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, chopped onion, chopped parsley, minced garlic, cumin, paprika, salt, and pepper. Use your hands to mix the ingredients well until combined.
Step 2: Take a small portion of the meat mixture and shape it into a long cylindrical kebab. Repeat with the remaining mixture. Place the kebabs on a platter or plate.
Step 3: Preheat your grill or oven to medium heat. If using a grill, lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking. Place the kebabs on the grill or in the oven and cook for about 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally, until they are cooked through and browned on all sides.
Step 4: Remove the kebabs from the grill or oven and let them rest for a few minutes before serving. Serve the kofta kebabs with pita bread, hummus, tzatziki sauce, and your favorite side dishes.
