Equipment

8 skewers metal or wood
1 mixing bowl

Ingredients

800 g pork mince good quality
1 bunch parsley fresh, chopped
1 pc onion medium-sized
1 teaspoon sea salt
1 teaspoon ground pepper freshly ground
1 teaspoon oregano dried
1 teaspoon cumin
1 teaspoon paprika mild
1 teaspoon onion granules

Instructions

Start by finely chopping your onion and the fresh parsley.
In mixing bowl, combine the pork mince with your finely chopped onion and finely chopped parsley. Sprinkle in the salt, ground pepper, oregano, cumin, paprika, and onion granules.
Mix all the ingredients together thoroughly until it's well combined and feels a bit sticky.
Cover the bowl and place it in the fridge to rest for 2-3 hours.
Take a portion of the pork mixture and it around the skewer, pressing it to form an elongated sausage shape, roughly 4-5 inches long and about 1 inch thick.
Preheat your outdoor grill to a medium-high heat.
Place the assembled Pork Kofta Kebabs directly on the grates. Grill the kebabs for approximately 2-3 minutes per side, turning them gently
Continue grilling and turning until the koftas are golden brown on the outside, and are cooked through.
Once cooked, remove the Grilled Pork Kofta Kebabs from the grill and let them rest for a minute or two before serving.
Serve these succulent koftas with a generous helping of crispy golden fries and a vibrant, refreshing summer salad.

Notes

That 2-3 hour rest in the fridge is more than important, it's helps the meat mixture firm up. This makes shaping the koftas onto skewers much easier and prevents them from falling apart on the grill.

Opt for 15-20% Fat Pork Mince. While lean meat sounds healthier, a slightly higher fat content in your pork mince is key for juicy koftas.

While you'll turn the kebabs every 2-3 minutes, avoid flipping them too frequently. Let them sit long enough on each side to develop a nice crust before turning.
