Step 1
Mix ground beef and pork with minced half an onion, paprika, salt, and pepper. Form into 8 logs about 3 inches long.
Step 2
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until it shimmers, about 1 minute.
Step 3
Sear kebabs for 2 minutes per side, turning once. They should look browned and feel firm when pressed.
Step 4
Push kebabs to the side. Add sliced remaining onion to the skillet and cook until charred at edges, ~3 minutes.
Step 5
Transfer kebabs and onions to a plate. Top with a dollop of yogurt and scatter with parsley.
Step 6
Serve hot with remaining yogurt on the side.
