Preparation

Step 1

(If skewering, soak skewers in water for at least 30 min)

Mix all ingredients in a large bowl (don't overmix or meat will toughen). Form into patties (or meatball/sausage shapes and thread those onto soaked skewers). Grill until cooked through.

Serve with flat bread or pita, top with sliced cucumbers, tomatoes, lettuce, yogurt sauce and feta cheese.
