Greek Kofta Kebabs
Recipe video above. This Greek Kofta kebab features a secret spice mix from a well known Melbourne souvlaki shop called Kalimera Souvlaki Art. The owner gave me his chicken gyros recipe for a story I did for Good Food. I used the same blend for lamb mince koftas - it's spectacular! The secret ingredient is a hint of curry powder, which adds warmth and depth without a curry taste. Genius!Served with my version of his Secret Souvlaki Sauce, crafted from clues he gave me. It's so good, I use it to dunk crackers, veggie sticks and hot chips.

📝 Preparation Steps
1
Sauce - Mix the ingredients in a bowl and set aside to let the flavours meld while you make the kofta kebabs.
2
Kofta kebabs - Put all the ingredients in a bowl and mix well with your hands until the spices are mixed through. Divide into 8, shape into 13cm/5" logs. Thread onto skewers then flatten slightly to about 1.25cm / 0.5" thick (Note 5).
3
Cook - Heat 1 tbsp oil in a large non stick pan over medium high heat. Cook half the koftas for ⏱️ 2 minutes on each side until golden, then about ⏱️ 30 seconds on each short edge (just for a bit of colour). Reduce the heat if they're browning too fast. Transfer to a serving plate, loosely cover with foil to keep warm. Cook the remaining koftas. (Scrape out loose burnt bits, if any. You shouldn't need extra oil.)
4
Serve and assemble! Pile the lettuce, tomato and onion on the plate and put the sauce in a bowl. To assemble, take a warm pita bread and smear some sauce down the middle. Top with lettuce and 1 or 2 koftas (removed from the skewers), tuck tomato down the side and sprinkle with onion. Fold and EAT!
