4 people

Difficulty: easy

Time: 15 minutes + rest

Ingredients:

300 g of mixed minced meat

Fresh parsley

1/2 spring onion

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/4 teaspoon ground cloves

1/4 teaspoon nutmeg

extra virgin olive oil

Black pepper

Salt

For the yogurt sauce:

1 greek yogurt

fresh coriander

1 tablespoon lemon juice

extra virgin olive oil

Black pepper

Salt

To accompany:

pita bread

Purple Onion

pear tomato

Cucumber

fresh coriander

Preparation :

The first thing we are going to do is soak the skewers for 20 minutes, this way they will not burn. Meanwhile we prepare our keftes, chop the spring onion and parsley and add them to a bowl, then add the previously seasoned meat and the rest of the spices, mix well with the help of our hands and leave to rest for 30 minutes in the fridge.

Meanwhile, we prepare a cucumber and tomato salad by simply washing them well and dicing them, seasoning them with pepper, salt, oil and a little chopped fresh coriander and mixing.

We also take the opportunity to prepare the yogurt sauce, for this we put the Greek yogurt in a bowl, the amount to taste, and season with pepper and salt to taste, lemon juice, oil and chopped fresh coriander, mix well and that's it.

We take a handful of meat and put it around the skewer, in total with this amount we get 6 skewers.

We put thegrill with Market stripes over high heat, add a splash of oil and cook our keftes until they are ready, turning them over so that they brown on all sides.

We serve with pita bread, salad and yogurt sauce, an ideal meal to enjoy our meals with friends this summer.
