Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Mix ground beef and pork with minced half an onion, paprika, salt, and pepper. Form into 8 logs about 3 inches long.

  2. Step 2

    Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until it shimmers, about 1 minute.

  3. Step 3

    Sear kebabs for 2 minutes per side, turning once. They should look browned and feel firm when pressed.

  4. Step 4

    Push kebabs to the side. Add sliced remaining onion to the skillet and cook until charred at edges, ~3 minutes.

  5. Step 5

    Transfer kebabs and onions to a plate. Top with a dollop of yogurt and scatter with parsley.

  6. Step 6

    Serve hot with remaining yogurt on the side.
