How to cook it · about 35 minutes

Start the rice according to the package.
Grate the onion on a box grater and squeeze out its juice with your hands. Finely chop most of the parsley and mince 2 cloves of garlic.
In a bowl, mix the beef, onion, chopped parsley, minced garlic, cumin, coriander, paprika, allspice, cinnamon, 1 1/2 tsp salt and the pepper. Knead it with your hands for 2 minutes until sticky — this keeps the kofta from falling apart.
Divide into 12 pieces and shape each into a finger-shaped log about 4 inches long, around a skewer if you have them or free-form if not.
Cook on a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat, or under the broiler on a foil-lined sheet pan, for 8 to 10 minutes, turning a few times, until browned and cooked through to 160F.
Stir the yogurt with the last garlic clove grated, a squeeze of lemon and a pinch of salt. Dice the tomatoes and cucumber.
Serve the kofta over the rice with the tomato and cucumber, the yogurt sauce, the rest of the parsley and lemon wedges.
