Kofte Sandwich Recipe

Kofte Preparation

1. 1

   Prepare the Meat Mixture

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

2. 2

   Form the Kofte

   Wet your hands slightly and shape the meat mixture into oval-shaped patties, about the size of your buns.

3. 3

   Cook the Kofte

   Heat olive oil in a grill pan or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the kofte for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until they are cooked through and have a nice crispy exterior.

4. 4

   Assemble the Sandwich

   Cut the buns in half and lightly toast them. Place a lettuce leaf on the bottom half of each bun, add 1-2 kofte, top with tomato slices, and drizzle with yogurt or tahini sauce. Cap with the top half of the bun.

5. 5

   Serve

   Serve the kofte sandwiches immediately while hot.
