Ingredients
  • 1 LB Ground Beef or Lamb
  • 1 Large Yellow Onion finely chopped
  • 1 clove of garlic finely minced or 1 tsp garlic paste
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped fresh parsley (preferred) or 2 tbsp dried parsley
  • 1 egg
  • 1 tbsp melted butter
  • 1 tbsp salt
  • 2 tsp pepper
  • 1 tbsp Cajun seasoning or All Spice
  • Pita Pocket Bread
  • Garlic Tahini Sauce (will post in a minute)

Directions
  1. This is the easiest recipe in the world.
  2. Mix first 9 ingredients in a large mixing bowl together until all well incorporated.
  3. Cover and put in fridge for at least 3 hours (let it marinade over night for optimal flavorage {thats not even a word is it?})
  4. When ready to cook, roll the beef into fingers the size of a man's thumb.
  5. Some people like to skewer them the long way, I never did though.
  6. Preheat Grill to Med High Heat and put fingers on the grill so that they are opposite the grill lines (you don't want them falling through).
  7. Cover and cook 5 mins. Turn over and cook another 5 mins.
  8. Similar to cooking a burger.
  9. Toast the pita pockets on the grill.
  10. To plate: Cut Pita into triangles and plate then put a couple koftas on the pitas so the pita can absorb some of that great grill flavor. Tahini on the side for dipping of course! Cucumber tomato salad is great next to this too! MMmmm my mouth is watering!
