- In food processor, puree together parsley leaves, green onions, half of the mint, the cumin, paprika, salt and pepper. Transfer to large bowl; beat in egg. Add beef and 2 tbsp water; mix well. Shape by heaping 2 tbsp into small sausages; thread each lengthwise onto metal or soaked wooden skewer.
- Place skewers on greased grill over medium heat or under broiler; close lid and grill, turning once, until no longer pink inside and digital rapid-read thermometer inserted into several koftas reads 160 F, about 12 minutes on grill, 7 minutes under broiler.
- Meanwhile, grill or broil pita breads, turning once, until crisp, about 4 minutes; cut into quarters. Combine yogurt with remaining mint and minced parsley. Serve koftas with pita quarters and yogurt.
