Number Of Ingredients 13

1 cup fresh parsley leaves, lightly packed
3 green onions, coarsely chopped
2 teaspoons dried mint
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1 egg
1 lb lean ground beef
1/2 cup plain yogurt
2 tablespoons fresh parsley, minced
4 pita bread, whole wheat
2 tablespoons water

Steps:

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 water; mix well.
Shape beef mixture by heaping 2 tbsp into small sausage shapes; thread each lengthwise onto metal skewer.
Place skewers on grill over medium heat; close lid and grill, turning once, until no longer pink inside, 12 minutes (or broil, turning once, for 7 minutes).
Meanwhile, combine yogurt with remaining mint and minced parsley. Grill or broil pitas, turning once, until hot and lightly crisped, about 4 minutes; cut each into quarters. Serve koftas with pita quarters and yogurt.
