In a large bowl, mix the beef and lamb together. The lamb adds tenderness and flavor to the kofta.

Add the onion and parsley.

Add the spices and mix the ingredients together with a little water.

Adjust the salt to taste.

Shape the meat mixture into long logs or any shape you prefer.

Lightly oil an electric grill and grill the kofta.

Turn the kofta to cook evenly on all sides until done.

Place some lettuce or any leafy greens on a serving plate, sprinkle with sumac, and arrange the kofta on top.

Serve with salad and pickles.
