Directions

Step 1
In a large bowl, combine ground beef, grated onion (squeezing out excess moisture), chopped parsley, minced garlic, cumin, coriander, paprika, allspice, red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper.
Step 2
Mix thoroughly with your hands until all ingredients are well incorporated and the mixture is slightly sticky. Do not overmix.
Step 3
Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow flavors to meld and the mixture to firm up.
Step 4
If using wooden skewers, soak them in water. Preheat grill to medium-high heat or oven to 400°F (200°C).
Step 5
Take about 1/4 cup of the meat mixture and firmly mold it around a skewer into a long, cylindrical shape. Repeat with remaining mixture.
Step 6
Grill kofta for 8-12 minutes, turning occasionally, until cooked through and nicely charred. If baking, place on a baking sheet and bake for 15-20 minutes.
Step 7
Serve hot with rice, pita bread, yogurt sauce, or a fresh salad.
