Directions

Beef Koftas

Preheat oven to broil. 2. In large bowl, stir together beef, onion, egg, cumin, chili powder, cinnamon and salt until combined.

On a foil lined baking sheet, shape meat into 12, 4-inch long ovals; thread onto 12 skewers.

Place baking sheet about 4-inch below broil heat. Cook for 5 minutes on each side, turning once. Beef is done when it reaches an internal cooking temperature of 160°F (71°C).

Tzatziki Bean Dip

Meanwhile, pour navy beans, Greek yogurt, garlic, dill, salt, pepper and lemon juice in a food processor and pulse on low for 2 minutes or until the bean dip is smooth. Serve with the beef koftas for dipping. Add in cucumbers and mini red tomatoes for more dipping options.
