Instructions 👩🍳🔥
Prepare the Kofta Filling:
The minced meat is already mixed with onion, parsley, green pepper, and kebab spices.
Shape the kofta into discs if placing directly in the pita bread.
Prepare the Pita Bread:
Carefully open the pita bread to form a pocket 🫓.
Fill each pita with a portion of the kofta mixture.
Brush with Oil & Ghee:
Mix olive oil and vegetable ghee 1:1 🫒🧈.
Brush the kofta and outside of the pita with this mixture for a golden, crispy finish.
Grill on Charcoal:
Heat the charcoal until it becomes glowing embers 🔥.
Place the pita sandwiches on the grill.
Press lightly with a spatula to brown the pita and cook the kofta evenly.
Grill each side for ~5-7 minutes until golden brown and fully cooked.
Add Fresh Veggies:
After grilling, open the pita and add onion rings 🧅, tomato slices 🍅, and green pepper rings 🫑.
Optional: sprinkle grated cheese 🧀 before adding veggies for slight melting.
Serve & Enjoy:
Serve hot 🥙 with fries 🍟 or a fresh salad 🥗.
Add pickles 🥒 or chili 🌶️ on the side for extra flavor.
