Instructions
Making the Kofte Mix
- Preheat the oven to 200 °C (390° F).
- Place the mince, grated onion, garlic, salt, paprika, cumin, and freshly ground black pepper in a medium-sized mixing bowl.
- Mix everything together until it’s thoroughly combined.
- Divide the mixture into four equal parts and shape them into flat long sausages.
- Line a large baking sheet with baking paper and place the lamb koftes on.
- Bake the koftes for 10 to 12 minutes and let them cool down for a few minutes.
- Drop the oven temperature to 180° C (360° F) and proceed to build the kebabs.
Building the Beyti Kebab
- Mix the olive oil with soda water in a small bowl.
- Line one large sheet tray with silicon paper.
- Lay one sheet of filo on a clean work surface and then drizzle 1-1 ½ tablespoon of the sauce, spread it evenly using a brush.
- Lay another sheet of filo on top and drizzle some more sauce, and spread it evenly. Repeat the same steps until you have three sheets of filo.
- Place a piece of kofte on the short side of the filo sheets and start rolling them tightly into a log shape.
- Cut the log diagonally into eight equal pieces and place them on your paper-lined tray.
- Repeat the same steps with the remaining filo sheets and koftes.
- Brush the pastries with melted butter to help them brown nicely.
- Bake them for 20 minutes or until the pastries are golden brown.
- Prepare the tomato sauce while the kebabs are baking.
Preparing the Tomato Sauce
- Put a small saucepan over medium heat and melt the butter.
- Add tomato paste, pepper paste, salt, paprika, and water and stir until all are dissolved.
- You may need to add more water if the sauce is too thick as the consistency of the tomato & pepper paste varies depending on the brand.
Serving the Beyti Kebab
- Place the yogurt in the middle of the plate and arrange the baked lamb rolls around it.
- Drizzle some of the hot tomato sauce over the yogurt and kebabs.
- Garnish the plate with roasted peppers and tomato slices.

Notes
- The main ingredient for kofte is minced lamb and its fat content is as important as the quality of the meat. Ideally, it should have %20 fat for soft and delicious koftes.
- Keep the filo pastries covered with a dump cloth to avoid them drying out.
- Make your Beyti Kebab even more exciting by topping it up with some grated Kasar cheese and grilling it for a few minutes before serving.
- You can prepare the kofte mixture up to 3 days in advance. It tastes even better as it develops flavor overnight.
