Pita breadhummus, tahini sauce, fresh sliced tomato and cucumber, couscous or tabouleh
Instructions
Prepare a broil-safe rimmed baking sheet with foil and set aside.
Preheat the broiler to high.
In a food processor, chop the onion, garlic and parsley until finely chopped.
Dump this in a large mixing bowl and add in the ground meats and the spices.
Mix thoroughly.
Take a handful of the mixture and form a ball, then roll it between your hands to form a log (My children called it a turd, which is lovely and awesome when talking about food, but it totally works to describe it. So there you go.)
Slide the skewer up the middle of the kofta log and place on the baking sheet.
Broil for 20 minutes, or until browned and cooked through, turning halfway through cooking. (When you turn the skewers use some tongs – remember they are hot!)
Notes
* If you like, you can skip the skewer and just make meatballs. You can bake these at a 350 oven for ~25 minutes, or you can cook them in a skillet until browned on all sides. The choice is yours. ** We enjoyed making sandwiches with the pita, hummus, tabouleh, tahini, cucumbers and tomatoes all wrapped up together. You can also enjoy them all separately. Again, the choice is yours. *** If using wooden skewers, remember to soak them for 20 minutes before grilling.
