Kofta Kebabs with Tahini Yogurt Sauce

Ingredients

• 1 lb Ground beef
• 0.5 medium Onion
• 2 cloves Garlic
• 0.25 cup Fresh parsley
• 1 tsp Cumin
• 1 tsp Coriander
• 0.5 tsp Paprika
• 1 tsp Salt
• 0.5 tsp Black pepper
• 1 cup Plain yogurt
• 2 tbsp Tahini
• 1 tbsp Lemon juice
• 1 clove Garlic

Instructions

1. 1In a large bowl, combine 1 lb ground beef, 0.5 medium onion (grated), 2 cloves garlic (minced), 0.25 cup fresh parsley (chopped), 1 tsp cumin, 1 tsp coriander, 0.5 tsp paprika, 1 tsp salt, and 0.5 tsp black pepper. Mix these ingredients thoroughly with your hands until well combined.
2. 2Shape the ground beef mixture into 8 small oblong kebabs, about 3-4 inches long.
3. 3Preheat a grill or a grill pan over medium-high heat. This is approximately 400°F (200°C).
4. 4Place the 8 kofta kebabs on the preheated grill or grill pan. Cook for 5-7 minutes per side, turning once, until the kebabs are browned on all sides and cooked through. The internal temperature should reach 160°F (71°C).
5. 5While the kebabs are cooking, prepare the tahini yogurt sauce. In a small bowl, whisk together 1 cup plain yogurt, 2 tbsp tahini, 1 tbsp lemon juice, and 1 clove garlic (minced) until smooth and creamy.
6. 6Serve the cooked kofta kebabs immediately with the prepared tahini yogurt sauce on the side.
