Steps:
- In a mixing bowl place the ground beef, salt, pepper, cumin, oregano, sumac, and cinnamon.
- Add in the grated onion, chopped parsley, and garlic; using your clean hands, mix until all the ingredients are well combined.
- Form the meat mixture into an oblong shape of about 1 inch in thickness. Use a skewer to form this shape onto 2/3 of it, keeping the skewer stick right into the middle of the meat.
- Repeat with remaining meat, then let the kafta sit in the refrigerator for 10-15 minutes, or until you prepare the grill. (refrigerating is optional)
- Grease the grill grates with some olive oil and heat over medium-high heat. Place the kafta onto the preheated grill and cook for about 8-10 minutes until browned, turning a couple of times with a tong, to ensure even browning.
- Meanwhile slice the cucumber, tomatoes, and red onion. Place the veggies into a bowl, drizzle with a bit of olive oil and balsamic vinegar.
- Season with salt and pepper; mix well. Once the kafta kabobs are done, remove from the heat and transfer to a serving dish
- Garnish with parsley and crumbled feta cheese, if desired. Serve with the optional sides and enjoy!

Steps:
- Place the parsley in the bowl of a food processor and pulse until finely chopped, remove and set aside.
- In the same food processor bowl used to chop the parsley, place the quartered onion and pulse until finely chopped. Drain the onions slightly to release excess moisture.
- Return the parsley back to the bowl of the food processor with the onions. Add the ground beef to the food processor in addition to all the spices. Run the food processor on pulse once or twice until ingredients are well combined and form a pasty meat mixture.
- Transfer the mixture from the food processor to a large bowl and form the Kafta into an oblong shape about 1 inch in thickness. You can form them on a wooden skewer or without.
- Grease the grates of a gas grill or indoor grill pan, and preheat it to medium high heat. When heated through, transfer the kafta to the grill. Grill for 4-5 minutes per side, depending on your preferred level of doneness.
- Serve hot off the grill with your choice of side.

Steps:
- Place ground beef in a large bowl.
- Add onion, garlic and parsley to a food processor and process until very finely minced scraping down sides as needed. Mixture should almost start to liquefy (just past the point of a very fine mince).
- Transfer the onion mixture to the bowl with the beef and add all the spices.
- Mix well using clean hands until all the ingredients are fully incorporated. Place the bowl in the refrigerator for 10 minutes while you preheat the grill.
- Preheat an outdoor grill to medium high heat (450-500°F) and lightly grease the grates with a high smoke point oil like avocado oil.
- Remove the beef mixture from the refrigerator and form the beef into an oblong shape on skewers (*see note). Using 6 to 8 skewers, repeat until beef mixture is used up.
- Carefully place each skewer on the preheated and greased grill. Grill for about 6-8 minutes.
- Gently flip skewers when meat pulls away from the grates easily and grill marks have formed on the bottom. Grill on the other side for an additional 3-4 minutes until cooked through.
- Transfer the kabobs to a plate and let rest for a few minutes before serving.
- Pour any accumulated juices over the kabobs when serving and enjoy with your favorite sides.
