Tips
If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 30 minutes before use to prevent burning.
For a leaner option, you can use ground turkey or chicken instead of beef.
Add a pinch of cinnamon or allspice to the meat mixture for extra depth of flavor.
Serve with tzatziki sauce or garlic yogurt for additional flavor.
Leftover cooked kofta can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheated in the oven.
steps
Let’s make it
Step 1
In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, the entire sachet of Mediterranean Kebab Blend, chopped onion, and parsley. If using, add the egg. Mix well with your hands until all ingredients are evenly distributed.
Step 2
Divide the mixture into 8 equal portions. Shape each portion around a skewer into an oblong shape, about 10-12 cm long.
Step 3
Cover and refrigerate the kofta skewers for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Step 4
While the kofta is chilling, prepare the tomato-cucumber salad by combining all ingredients in a bowl and mixing well. Set aside.
Step 5
Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat.
Step 6
Brush the kofta skewers lightly with olive oil.
Step 7
Grill the kofta for 4-5 minutes per side, or until they are browned on the outside and cooked through (internal temperature should reach 160°F or 71°C).
Step 8
Warm the flatbreads on the grill for about 30 seconds per side.
Step 9
Serve the kofta skewers with warm flatbread, hummus, and the tomato-cucumber salad.
