Instructions
- Combine the pistachios, lamb, beef, cumin, thyme, and coriander in a large bowl. Use your hands to work the spices into the meat. Gently form the mixture into 6 equal rectangular patties.
- Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once the oil is shimmering, add the meat patties and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, about 8-12 minutes total, until medium-rare or cooked to your liking.
- Meanwhile, whisk the remaining tablespoon of olive oil with half the lemon juice and add a dash of salt and pepper. Toss this dressing with the butter lettuce, red onion, parsley, and mint.
- Whisk the remaining lemon juice together with the Greek yogurt.
- Form the kofte pitas by topping each piece of pita bread with the dressed green salad and one piece of meat. Top with the Greek yogurt mixture and a sprinkle of lemon zest, if desired.
Notes
- I like to warm my pita sandwiches: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit (200 degrees Celsius) and wrap the pita bread pieces in foil. Place the foil package in the preheated oven while you prepare the rest of the meal.
- To store Kofta Sandwiches, keep the cooked patties separate from the salad and pita. Store the patties in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. You can freeze the patties for up to 2 months—just thaw them overnight in the fridge before reheating.
- To reheat, warm the patties in a skillet over medium heat or in the oven at 350 degrees F (175°C) until heated through. Assemble the sandwiches just before serving.
