Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Mix beef, chicken, onion, parsley, cumin, salt, and pepper in a bowl until just combined.

  2. Step 2

    Divide mixture into 8 portions. Wet your hands and mold each portion tightly around a metal skewer.

  3. Step 3

    Heat grill to high. Once hot, oil the grates lightly, then lay skewers directly on heat.

  4. Step 4

    Grill 3 to 4 minutes per side without moving. Edges should look charred; meat should feel firm when pressed.

  5. Step 5

    Stir yogurt, lemon juice, salt, and pepper together in a small bowl for sauce.

  6. Step 6

    Serve kofta hot with yogurt sauce and warm pita on the side.
