Kofte Platter Recipe

Cooking Instructions

1. 1

   Prepare the Kofte

   In a large bowl, combine ground beef, chopped onion, minced garlic, parsley, cumin, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined.

2. 2

   Shape the Patties

   Form the mixture into equal-sized patties, about 2 inches in diameter.

3. 3

   Grill the Kofte

   Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Brush the grill with olive oil and cook the patties for about 5-6 minutes on each side or until cooked through and nicely charred.

4. 4

   Cook the Rice

   In a saucepan, bring 2 cups of water to a boil. Add the rice and a pinch of salt. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 15-20 minutes, or until the rice is tender and water is absorbed.

5. 5

   Grill the Vegetables

   On the same grill, place the halved tomato and bell pepper. Grill for about 3-4 minutes on each side until slightly charred.

6. 6

   Serve

   Plate the cooked rice, top with grilled kofte, and add the grilled tomato and pepper on the side. Garnish with lemon wedges and parsley if desired.
