BEEF KOFTAS (GROUND BEEF ON SKEWERS)

Steps:

• If using bamboo skewers, soak in water for at least 1 hour.
• If you can, run the beef and onions through a food grinder twice. If you don't have a grinder, pulse the onion in a food processor until chopped finely and then add the beef and pulse until it reaches quite a fine consistency. Place in a bowl.
• Soak bread in milk and add to meat together with the seasonings.
• Mix well and form into football shaped meatballs 2-3 inch in diameter. About 2 or 3 meatballs should fit on each skewer. You can shape them right on the skewers.
• Grill on skewers until cooked through.

• Transfer to large bowl; beat in egg.
• Add beef and 2 tbsp water; mix well.
• Shape by heaping 2 tbsp into small sausages.
• Thread each lengthwise onto metal or soaked wooden skewer.
• Place skewers on greased grill over medium heat or under broiler; close lid and grill, turning once, until no longer pink inside and digital rapid-read thermometer inserted into several koftas reads 160F, about 12 minutes on grill, 7 minutes under broiler.
• Meanwhile, grill or broil pita breads, turning once, until crisp, about 4 minutes; cut into quarters.
• Combine yogurt with remaining mint and minced parsley.
• Serve koftas with pita quarters and yogurt.
