Recipe By Real Simple

Easy middle eastern-inspired lamb meatballs (aka, kofta) are the centerpiece of tonights easy dinner. The kofta are seasoned with onion, mint, cumin, and garlic and shaped into football-shaped orbs, which makes for more deliciously crispy crust in every bite. Youll pile the meatballs, cucumber, and tomato onto warm pita thats slathered with a zippy lemony mint and yogurt sauce. Finally, its all finished off crumbles of briny feta. Start with hummus and crudits to make the meal even more filling. Pro tip: dont overwork the kofta mixture, otherwise it might become gluey. Instead, you want it to just come together until theyre easy to grill.
