Preparation
- 1 If using wooden skewers, soak in cold water for 10 minutes before using to avoid burning.
- 2 Add all ingredients for the Zesty Garlic Sauce into a mixing bowl and whisk until well combined. Cover and keep refrigerated until ready to serve. Remove from fridge at least 10-15 minutes before serving and drizzle extra olive oil on top.
- 3 Heat oil in a large fry pan over MEDIUM-HIGH heat. Once hot, add onion and cook until translucent (2-3 minutes). Let cool before adding to a large mixing bowl with remaining kofta ingredients. Mix well until all ingredients are incorporated.
- 4 With damp hands, divide the meat mixture into 24 equal balls. One at a time, push and mould each ball of meat onto a skewer.
- 5 To cook, heat more oil in the same fry pan over MEDIUM-HIGH heat. Cook kofta in batches for 5-6 minutes, turning regularly to brown all over. Alternatively, cook on a preheated BBQ over MEDIUM-HIGH heat for the same amount of time.
- 6 Serve kofta with Zesty Garlic Sauce and warmed flat or pita breads.

Tips:
- • Skip the skewers and simply mould kofta in your hands into small logs.
