In a large mixing bowl, combine the finely ground lamb, smoked paprika, ground coriander, ground cumin, and ground cinnamon.

Toss in the roughly chopped onion, smashed garlic cloves, and chopped parsley. These ingredients add layers of flavor that will make your kofta irresistible.

Add the plain Greek yogurt and toasted pine nuts into the mixture. The yogurt helps keep the meat moist, and the pine nuts provide a welcome crunch.

Sprinkle in the coarse kosher salt. Give everything a good mix until all ingredients are well incorporated. Don't be afraid to use your hands to ensure everything binds perfectly.

With clean hands, grab small portions of the mixture and shape them into oval patties or roll them onto skewers. Make sure they're compact so they hold together during cooking.

Preheat your grill or oven to medium-high heat. Grease your baking sheet or grill grates with olive oil. Place your kofta on the grill and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side until browned and cooked through.

Take the kofta off the grill, and let them rest for a couple of minutes. Now it's time to plate them up with warm pita, creamy hummus, and a fresh cucumber and tomato salad.
