Kofte in Pita Pockets image

This is a Turkish sandwich based on a recipe from Carole Handslip's book, Step-by-Step 50 Great Sandwiches. When I make my own pita bread to go with them, I give this 5 stars! Serve with a minted yogurt sauce, such as recipe #36126, #36126.

Time 25m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 slice bread
1/2 lb ground lamb
1 garlic clove, crushed
1 small onion, finely chopped
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 tablespoon of fresh mint, chopped
salt and pepper
1 tablespoon pine nuts
1/4 cup flour (for coating)
1/2 cup oil
4 pita breads
1 onion, cut into thin rings
2 tomatoes, sliced (or cut into wedges)

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
  • Soak the bread in water for 5 minutes, then squeeze dry and add to the next 7 ingredients. Mix until thoroughly blended and malleable. Shape into small balls the size of a walnut, using dampened hands so that the mixture does not stick. Lightly coat in flour.
  • Shallow-fry for about 6 minutes, turning frequently, until golden brown.
  • Warm the pita bread in the oven for a few minutes until puffed up, then cut a thin strip off one side of each pita to make a pocket.
  • Fill pita with onion rings, tomato wedges, and a few Kofte.

This recipe was a bit too spicy for my taste, but I think it would be perfect for someone who likes spicy food.
