Ingredients

• Kofta:
• 2 lbs ground meat (beef, lamb, chicken, turkey, or any combo thereof)

• 4 cloves garlic, crushed or minced
• 3 T fresh mint, chopped
• 3/4 C fresh parsley, chopped
• 1/2 t cinnamon
• 3/4 t dried coriander
• 1/4 t allspice
• 1 1/2-1 3/4 t salt
• 1/2 t black pepper
• Yogurt sauce: (or just buy pre-made Tzatziki sauce)
• 2 c plain yogurt
• 1-2 cloves garlic, crushed or minced
• Handful fresh mint, chopped
• Diced cucumber (opt)
• Flat bread or pita
• Sliced cucumber
• Sliced tomatoes
• Feta cheese
• Lettuce

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.
