Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb ground beef (or lamb)
  • 1 small onion, grated
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
  • 1 tsp ground cumin
  • 1 tsp ground coriander
  • 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Wooden skewers, soaked
  • 1 cup hummus
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1/2 cucumber, sliced
  • 1/4 red onion, thinly sliced
  • 1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese
  • Fresh parsley, for garnish
  • Extra virgin olive oil, for drizzling
  • Optional: lemon wedges

Instructions

  1. In a bowl, combine all kofta ingredients and mix until just combined. Shape into long meatballs and thread onto skewers.
  2. Grill or pan-sear kofta over medium-high heat for 8–10 minutes, turning occasionally, until fully cooked and slightly charred.
  3. In a serving bowl, spread a generous layer of hummus.
  4. Arrange cucumber, tomatoes, and red onion on one side, and place kofta skewers on top.
  5. Sprinkle with feta, parsley, and drizzle with olive oil. Serve immediately with optional lemon wedges.

Notes

  • Soaking wooden skewers prevents burning during grilling.
  • Can be served with warm pita or over rice for a heartier meal.
  • Adjust spices to taste or add chili flakes for heat.
