- 1.5 medium yellow onion, divided
- 2 tsp smoked paprika

Mix ground beef and pork with minced half an onion, paprika, salt, and pepper. Form into 8 logs about 3 inches long.

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until it shimmers, about 1 minute.

Transfer kebabs and onions to a plate. Top with a dollop of yogurt and scatter with parsley.
