Method

In a bowl, mix ground beef, ground pork, onion, salt, paprika, and garlic powder until well combined.
Shape the mixture into 1-inch meat rolls and secure with a toothpick.
Place the meat rolls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and roast in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 25-30 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 71°C (160°F).
While the meat roasts, prepare the herbed yogurt sauce by mixing yogurt, dill, parsley, garlic, and lemon juice in a small bowl.
Serve the slow-roasted meat rolls with flatbread, sliced onions, and a dollop of herbed yogurt sauce.
