Method

Cooking Directions

Prepare the Fish Mixture

In a large mixing bowl, combine the chopped fish, onion, garlic, dill, cumin, salt, and pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly combined.

Shape the Kofta

With wet hands, take a portion of the fish mixture and mold it into an oval shape. Repeat until all the mixture is shaped into kofta.

Preheat the Grill or Oven

Preheat your grill to medium-high heat or your oven to 200°C (400°F).

Skewer the Kofta

If grilling, thread the shaped kofta onto the wooden skewers. Brush them lightly with olive oil.

Cook the Kofta

Grill the kofta for about 5-7 minutes on each side until cooked through and golden brown. If baking, place them on a lined baking tray and bake for about 15-20 minutes, turning halfway through.

Prepare the Tzatziki

While the kofta is cooking, prepare the tzatziki by mixing Greek yogurt, grated cucumber, minced garlic, chopped dill, lemon juice, salt, and pepper in a bowl.

Serve

Once cooked, serve the kofta hot with tzatziki sauce on the side.
