Step 1
Mix beef, chicken, onion, parsley, cumin, salt, and pepper in a bowl until just combined.
Step 2
Divide mixture into 8 portions. Wet your hands and mold each portion tightly around a metal skewer.
Step 3
Heat grill to high. Once hot, oil the grates lightly, then lay skewers directly on heat.
Step 4
Grill 3 to 4 minutes per side without moving. Edges should look charred; meat should feel firm when pressed.
Step 5
Stir yogurt, lemon juice, salt, and pepper together in a small bowl for sauce.
Step 6
Serve kofta hot with yogurt sauce and warm pita on the side.
