Soak the wooden skewers in water while you prepare the rest of the ingredients.
Make the tzatziki
Combine every tzatziki ingredient in a large container or bowl and mix to combine. Set aside in the fridge.
Make the tomato salad
In a small bowl combine tomatoes and olives. Drizzle with the olive oil and red wine vinegar and season with salt and pepper to taste. Toss and then set aside.
Make the beef kofta
Make sure the kabob skewers have been soaked in water!
To a medium bowl add the beef, grated onion, finely chopped mint, finely chopped parsley, cumin, salt, pepper, cinnamon and finely chopped green olives. Mix until fully combined.
Divide the mixture into 9 portions. Mold each portion around the pointed ends of the cocktail skewers, making a sort of oval kabob that covers the pointed end of the skewer.
Heat a grill pan over medium-high heat. Spray the pan with cooking spray or brush with olive oil. Once the pan is hot, grill the kabobs, turning every few minutes, until browned all over - this should take about 8-12 minutes. Set aside to cool for a few minutes.
To a large serving tray or plate add about 1 cup tzatziki (store the rest of the tzatziki in the fridge to enjoy another time) and spread it over the plate. Arrange the kofta on top of the tzatziki and top with the tomato salad. Finally garnish with fresh mint and fresh dill and serve with pita.
