Ingredients
Preparation
In food processor, puree together parsley leaves, green onions, half of the mint, the cumin, paprika, salt and pepper. Transfer to large bowl; beat in egg. Add beef and 2 tbsp (25 mL) water; mix well.
Shape beef mixture by heaping 2 tbsp (25 mL) into small sausage shapes; thread each lengthwise onto metal or soaked wooden skewer.
Place skewers on greased grill over medium heat; close lid and grill, turning once, until no longer pink inside and digital rapid-read thermometer inserted into several koftas reads 160°F (70°C), about 12 minutes. (Or broil, turning once, for 7 minutes.)
Meanwhile, grill or broil pita bread, turning once, until crisp, about 4 minutes; cut each into quarters. Combine yogurt with remaining mint and minced parsley. Serve koftas with pita quarters and yogurt.
