Sit down to a delicious feast! Robertsons Braai & Grill Spicy BBQ adds amazing flavour to our local version of beef koftas. Envelope them in warm flatbreads with lashings of mouth-watering whipped coriander feta.

Ingredients

For the whipped coriander feta:

80 g feta cheese
80 ml (⅓ cup) plain yoghurt
30 ml (2 Tbsp) lemon juice
the zest of 1 lemon
a small handful of roughly chopped fresh coriander

For the flat breads

4 large or 8 small store-bought flatbreads
30 ml (2 Tbsp) olive oil

For the koftas:

500 g beef mince
2 cloves garlic, peeled and finely grated
30 ml (2 Tbsp) finely chopped fresh coriander
45 ml (3 Tbsp) breadcrumbs
22.5 ml (1½ Tbsp) Robertsons Braai & Grill Spicy BBQ
5 ml (1 tsp) Robertsons paprika
5 ml (1 tsp) Robertsons coriander
10 ml (2 tsp) Robertsons cumin
a small handful of fresh coriander, to garnish

Cooking Method

Preheat your grill to medium high.
First make the whipped feta. Place all the ingredients into a food processor and blend until smooth. If you don’t have a food processer, use a fork to finely crumble the feta cheese, then stir in the remaining ingredients. Set aside.
Brush each flat bread on both sides with olive oil. Grill the flat breads on a medium-high heat, on both sides, until coloured with grill lines. Set aside.
To make the koftas, put all the ingredients in a bowl and mix well.
Divide the mixture into eight balls, then roll them out into even ‘sausages’. Carefully push a wooden skewer lengthways through each one.
Grill the koftas over a medium-high heat, turning them often, for about 5-7 minutes, or until coloured all over and cooked through.
Serve your beef koftas warm with the flat breads and whipped feta. Garnish with fresh coriander.
