VEGETARIAN KOFTAS
Koftas are usually made with meat, but this is a fun variation with bean and wheat, served with Tabouleh. I have had bad luck making "kabobs" out of the mixture as the recipe calls to do, and usually just end up grilling the kofta balls without putting them on skewers. Still tastes good! Note: I buy the adzuki beans canned, which eliminates step 1.

Steps:
- In a medium bowl, combine the Impossible™ Burger, salt, black pepper, cumin, paprika, chili powder, mint, oregano, and onion.
- Cut the yellow and red peppers into ¾-inch pieces and the zucchini in half lengthwise, then into ¾-inch-thick moons.
- Assemble the skewers: Thread 3 pieces of bell pepper and zucchini onto a skewer, leaving about 1½ inches of space at the base. Mold 2 tablespoons of the Impossible™ Burger mixture around the skewer about 1½ inches above the vegetables. Add 3 more pieces of vegetable, another portion of beef, and 3 more vegetables. Repeat to build the remaining kebabs (8 total). Place the kebabs on a plate and refrigerate for 1 hour.
- Make the garlic sauce: In a food processor, combine the garlic, lemon juice, and salt. Pulse 5 times, until the garlic is minced. Add the yogurt and mayonnaise, and process until smooth. Refrigerate until ready to use.
- Preheat the grill to 350°F (180°C).
- Drizzle 3 tablespoons of olive oil all over the kebabs. Season the vegetables with salt.
- Place the kebabs on the grill and cook for 5 minutes on each side, or until the "meat" is cooked through and the vegetables are tender. Remove from the grill.
- Meanwhile, brush the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil over the pita bread. Grill for 45-60 seconds per side, or until lightly toasted. Remove from the grill and let cool slightly, then cut into triangles.
- To serve, divide the arugula, parsley, mint, tomatoes, cucumber, and pickled red onions among 4 plates. Drizzle with the lemon juice. Place 2 kebabs on each plate and serve immediately with the garlic sauce and grilled pita bread alongside.
- Enjoy!
Tips:
- For the best flavor, use fresh vegetables that are in season.
- If you don't have a food processor, you can grate the vegetables by hand.
- Be careful not to overmix the kofta mixture, as this will make the kebabs tough.
- If the kofta mixture is too dry, add a little bit of water or milk.
- If the kofta mixture is too wet, add a little bit of bread crumbs or flour.
- Cook the kebabs over medium heat to prevent them from burning.
- Serve the kebabs with your favorite dipping sauce.
