kofta sandwich recipe

In this easy baked kofta pita sandwich we have, flavor-packed ground lamb (or beef, if you prefer) patties, loaded on top of Greek pita with hummus spread, fresh veggies, and olives. A great weeknight option, or a make-your-own-sandwich bar for your next party! Step-by-step tutorial included.

Baked Kofta Pita Sandwich, Turkish Style (tutorial)

lb ground lamb

bread crumbs

garlic cloves,

salt

tsp sumac,

tsp cumin

tsp red pepper flakes,

tsp paprika,

Greek pita

parsley,

oz baby arugula

tomatoes,

cucumber,

onion, sliced into rounds

Olives

Jalapeno peppers, optional

In a large mixing bowl, combine the lamb, egg, bread crumbs, and garlic with the salt and the spices. With clean hands, kneed together until all is well-combined.

Form the lamb mixture into small balls. Push lightly to flatten the meatballs into patties and arrange them about 1 inch apart on a large baking sheet. Do not crowd the kofta patties, use two baking sheets if necessary.

Bake in the 425 degrees F heated oven for 20-25 minutes or until the kofta patties are well-browned and the center is fully done.

While the kofta is baking, mix together a small equal amount of the spices (sumac, red pepper flakes, and smoked paprika). Set aside for now. Prepare the Greek pita bread, Sabra hummus spreads, and the rest of the fixings. You can set everything up for a make-your-own-sandwich bar, if you like.

When the kofta patties are fully baked, remove from the oven and sprinkle the spice mixture on top.

To make the pita sandwiches, spread a generous amount of the sea salt &amp; cracked pepper Sabra hummus spread (or the garlic herb Sabra hummus spread) on the Greek pita, then top with the baby arugula and parsley.

From here, add as many baked kofta patties as you like (usually 3-4 per pita is a good amount), and your choice of fixings; tomatoes, cucumbers, onions, olives, and jalapeno peppers. Finish off with another squeeze of the Sabra hummus spread!

Serve the baked kofta pita sandwiches in folded wraps or open-faced. Enjoy!

Love, love, love these! Very easy to make, and the meat is just so flavorful!
