Picture yourself sitting on a beach in Euro summer, sunkissed with an aperol spritz in hand. A mental image that can only be improved by an epicly tasty mediterranean meal… cue Kofta Kebabs! These are super easy to make and quite frankly, delicious. You can alter this by using fresh vegetables and hummus to top, or have a go at the salad I have suggested here. Make this healthy meal for the flat and chuck on Mamma Mia! while you’re at it x
Ingredients
Mince Flatbread
- 500g beef/venison mince (I go for whatever is cheapest at the supo on the day)
- 1 egg
- 1 onion (grated or finely chopped)
- 3 garlic cloves (finely chopped)
- 1 beef stock cube (optional)
- 1 tsp ground coriander
- 2 tsp ground cumin
- 1 tsp ground paprika
- ½ tsp ground cinnamon
- ½ tsp chili flakes (optional)
- Salt and pepper
- Lebanese bread (purchase from Yogijis!) (you could use pita breads or wraps, feel free to alter according to what you have and prefer)
- Oil
Salad
(feel free to add in any other ingredients you like or what is affordable in season - tomatoes, capsicum, mint, parsley or olives would go hard!)
- ½ red onion (finely chopped)
- ½ iceberg lettuce (finely shredded)
- ½ cucumber (finely chopped)
- ⅓ block feta
- ½ lemon (juiced)
- 2 Tbsp oil
- Salt and pepper
Method
- Begin by making the mince mixture. In a large bowl add the mince, egg, onion, garlic, stock cube, spices (coriander, cumin, paprika, cinnamon, and chili flakes), and some salt and pepper. Mix by hand until everything is fully combined.
- Place a large frying pan over medium heat with about 2 Tbsp oil in the bottom.
- While the pan heats up, take one of the Lebanese flatbread/pitas, and spread the mince mixture on top. You want a layer of mince that is around 1cm thick and reaches the edge of the flat bread.
- Once your pan is hot, place the flatbread into the pan mince side down. Cook for 10-15 mins, until the mince is cooked through and starting to crisp up.
- While the flatbread is cooking, make your salad. Do this by combining all the salad ingredients and tossing together in a medium bowl.
- Once the mince is cooked through, remove the flatbread from the pan and serve up with a pile of salad and any other toppings that tickle your mediterranean fancy!
Enjoy x
