Kofta and Homemade flatbread

Bham_egger · December 2012

My wife and I love various ethnic foods, so last night I decided to do some Kofta Sandwiches on homemade flatbread. This was the first time I have made any kind of bread. I wanted something kinda like a gordita bread, so I found a recipe on King Arthur Flour's website. They turned out just like I wanted. I did not cook them on the egg, although I may try it sometime.

Finished Breads

Next on to the Kofta. For those who don't know, Kofta is a Middle Eastern dish made with ground lamb, cinnamon, ginger, cumin, cayenne, garlic, allspice, ground coriander, and parsley. I'm sure there are other versions, but this is the best I've found. Kofta can either be prepared as meatballs, or as kebabs. I chose to do the kebabs on the egg, then cut them up for sandwiches on the flatbread. Topped them with some lettuce, tomato, cucumber, and tatziki sauce. Everything came out delicious. and the best part was the wife loved them.

Nice looking meal. Flat bread is also good for a pizza.

Very nice, how did you cook the bread? And can you post recipe or link?

It was very easy to make. I substituted Whole wheat flour for 1/3 of the total called for. The dough has the consistency of play dough, which was odd, but stay committed to the recipe and it will work out.

Very nice - we too love ethnic foods. I've made kofta kabobs on my gas grill a few times and just had my first attempt on the egg a few weeks ago. The difference was night and day. The smoky flavor made all the difference in the world. I don't cook with lamb a ton but it seemed to really absorb the smoke and had a nice pinkish hue.

Going to need to make that bread recipe for our homemade gyros. Looks fab!

I'd like to make the Kabobs. You've got the ingredients listed, can you provide the amounts used too. :)

How do you do the homemade gyros. I have found some gyro meat at a local food distributor, but am not impressed with the quality. Just some frozen, "steak-um like" meat.

Last time I had Kofta kabobs was from a small MEastern place in Berzerkley. Yours look much better. Thanks for the link.

Howdy, Stranger!
