Ingredients
- 1 pita or slice sandwich bread
- 1 small red onion grated (1/2 cup grated onion)
- 2 lbs ground chicken
- 1 large egg
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1/2 cup flat leaf parsley chopped
- 1/4 cup mint leaves chopped
- 1 tbsp Baharat spice
- 1/2 tsp kosher salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
Serve
- hummus
- Shrirazi salad
- lemon slices
Instructions
- Tear pita in half and toast until golden brown (or slice of bread). Moisten the bread with a few tablespoons of water and let sit for a few minutes. Squeeze any excess water from bread and place in a large mixing bowl.
- Meanwhile grate the onion over a kitchen towel and squeeze excess water to remove and discard. Add onion to the bowl with bread.
- To the bowl add the ground chicken, egg, garlic, parsley, mint, baharat spices, salt and pepper. Using clean hands, swirl with fingers to mix until thoroughly combined.
- Wet your hands with a little water and form the chicken mixture into 12-16 oval patties about 1 to 1 1/2-inch in thickness (See Notes 1 and 2). Arrange the kofta on a lined tray and refrigerate for 15 minutes to firm up while you clean and preheat the grill to 450°F.
- Grease indoor griddle pan or the grates of a gas grill with a little oil. Place the kofta on the griddle pan or grill and cook for 3 to 4 minutes per side until fully cooked through.
Notes
- If mixture is too loose and doesn't form patties well, add 1-2 tablespoons breadcrumbs to chicken mixture.
- If pan frying, I form into 1x3 inch rolls and cook 3-4 minutes per side, and the same time under a broiler. If grilling, form into larger oval patties and slightly flatten to 1 to 1 1/2-inch in thickness.
