Kofta Kabobs with Tzatziki Sauce
Let's get grilling
1
Combine the first 11 ingredients in a large mixing bowl and blend well. Create kabobs by placing two skewers side-by-side then shaping 2½–3 ounces of the meat mixture around the top half of each skewer set. Place kabobs on a platter and refrigerate while the grill comes to temperature so that they can firm up.
2
Prepare grill for medium-high heat cooking, approximately 400°F. Remove kabobs from the refrigerator then wrap the exposed skewers with a single layer of foil. Place kabobs on the grill and cook for approximately 4 minutes per side until they reach and internal temperature of 160°F.
3
Serve immediately with tzatziki sauce and pita (optional).
