Cooking Steps
• Preheat BBQ to high heat.
• Thinly slice capsicum and zucchini into strips
lengthways.
• Finely chop garlic.
• In a medium bowl, combine zucchini and a drizzle
of olive oil, then season with salt and pepper.
• In a second medium bowl, combine capsicum
and a drizzle of olive oil, then season with salt
and pepper.
• In a large bowl, combine lean beef mince,
Mediterranean seasoning, fine breadcrumbs and
the egg.
• Using damp hands, roll lamb mixture into koftas
about 8cm long and 2.5cm thick (3 per person).
• When BBQ is hot, grill koftas, turning occasionally,
until cooked through and slightly charred,
8-10 minutes.
No BBQ? Cook koftas in a large frying pan over
medium-high heat with a drizzle of olive oil, turning
regularly, until browned, 10-12 minutes.
• While koftas are grilling, grill zucchini, turning, until
charred and tender, 2-4 minutes each side. Return
to bowl.
• Grill capsicum, turning, until charred and
tender, 6-8 minutes. Transfer to bowl with
charred zucchini.
No BBQ? Return frying pan to medium-high heat with
a drizzle of olive oil, then cook zucchini, tossing, for
2-4 minutes each side. Cook capsicum, tossing, until
tender, 4-5 minutes.
• While veggies are cooking, grill pita bread,
until golden and warmed through, 2-4 minutes
each side.
No BBQ? Microwave pita bread on a microwave-safe
plate for 1 minute, until warmed through.
• To the bowl with charred veggies, add mixed salad
leaves and a drizzle of vinegar and olive oil, then
season to taste.
• In a small microwave-safe bowl, combine garlic and
a drizzle of olive oil. Microwave in 10 second bursts
until fragrant. Stir in Greek-style yoghurt until
combined, then season to taste.
• Halve koftas and pita bread.
• Build pita pockets by filling with some capsicum
salad and spiced lean beef koftas.
• Top with garlic yoghurt.
• Serve with any remaining salad. Enjoy!
