Steps

2 hours

1

Completely drain the chopped onion of its liquid and set the onion juice aside.
2

Mix the ground beef with the drained onion and the rest of the ingredients by hand until you get a smooth, dough-like texture and all ingredients are well combined. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
3

Meanwhile, soak wooden skewers in water so they don't burn during grilling.
4

Add 1 teaspoon tomato paste and 1 tablespoon oil to the reserved onion juice and stir.
5

Remove the meat mixture from the fridge. Take 3 skewers together and shape the kofta around them, making each kofta finger medium-thick and somewhat long. Use the onion juice mixture to help shape the kofta, then place the skewers on a rack or baking tray.
6

Bake the kofta in a preheated oven at 350–400°F (180–200°C). Turn them after 10 minutes so they brown on all sides. Remove from the oven, garnish with parsley, and serve.
