Directions
- Soak 6 wooden skewers in cold water while you prepare the beef.
- Preheat the oven to 400°F. Brush the bottom of a rimmed baking sheet with the olive oil and set aside.
- Add the beef, egg, garlic, breadcrumbs, parsley, onion, salt, pepper, cumin, coriander, cinnamon, cardamom, cloves, and nutmeg to a large mixing bowl and use your hands to mix everything together until thoroughly combined.
- Divide the mixture in 6 even portions. Form each beef mixture into a cylinder shape roughly 6-inches long then push a wooden skewer through the middle of each one. Use your hands to press and form the beef onto the stick to make sure it stays on the skewer.
- Lay the beef skewers on the oiled baking sheet and bake for 7 minutes then flip and bake 7 more minutes or until beef is cooked through.
- Mix all the TZATZIKI ingredients in a small bowl. Season with salt & pepper to taste.
- Serve the kofta kebabs over the sliced red onion with the tzatziki sauce on the side.
