Best 5 Vegetarian Kofta Kabobs Recipes

VEGAN KOFTA WITH TZATZIKI

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees(F).
• In a large mixing bowl, add the vegan ground beef, grated onion and garlic, the fresh herbs and all the spices. Mix everything together, so it is completely combined. I start with a spoon and then use my hands.
• Divide the kofta mixture into 6 equal portions. Take one portion and wrap it around one of the skewers that you soaked. Pressing around evenly so that is a cylinder up the skewer. Place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or sprayed with non-stick spray.
• Repeat with the remaining kofta mixture, placing all the skewers on the sheet pan.
• Bake for 10-12 minutes or until they are nice and firm.
• While the kofta bakes, make the tzatziki. Add all the tzatziki ingredients to a medium sized mixing bowl and whisk to combine. Set in the fridge until ready to use.
• Once the kofta has baked, remove from the oven and grill either on a grill pan or a grill for 1-2 minutes on each side, just to brown up. Or you can serve them as is, if you don't have a grill or grill pan.
• Serve immediately with the tzatziki sauce, flatbread and veggies if desired.

KOFTA KABOBS

Steps:

• In a large bowl, put the ground meat, flattened in the bowl, add all the ingredients. Knead for at least 5 minutes until all is well mixed. Let the kofta rest for 20 to 30 minutes in a cool place to marinate.
• Wet your hand with water. Take the kofta and make a big cigar. Put on a long skewer, in the center. Repeat skewering until done. Cook over a charcoal grill. Serve hot.

IMPOSSIBLE™ KOFTA & VEGGIE KEBABS RECIPE BY TASTY

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!

VEGETARIAN KOFTA CURRY

Steps:

• Put the garlic, ginger and green chiles in a food processor, and pulse until you have a coarse paste. Put half the paste into a large bowl. Set the rest aside.
• Add the beans, spring onions, fresh herbs, bread crumbs, egg, garam masala, chile powder and salt to the large bowl with the paste. Mix well with a fork, mashing up the beans as you go into small pieces.
• Heat the oven to 400 degrees and line a sheet pan with parchment paper. Shape the mixture into 1-inch balls and arrange on the pan. Drizzle with 2 tablespoons oil, and bake until lightly browned, about 25 minutes. Set aside.
• Meanwhile, heat the remaining oil in a large skillet over medium. Sauté the onion until soft and translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the remaining garlic, ginger and chile paste, and sauté until light golden brown, about 10 minutes. If using fresh tomatoes, purée them until smooth in the food processor. Stir the tomato purée or crushed tomatoes, coriander and cumin into the skillet, and simmer for about 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
• Add the kofta to the skillet, and turn the heat to low. If necessary, add enough water for the liquid to come about two-thirds of the way up the sides of the meatballs, then simmer another 15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the kofta are warmed through and the sauce has thickened. Season with salt and pepper, and garnish with a light dust of garam masala and some extra herbs.

VEGETARIAN KOFTA PITAS

Steps:

• Preheat an outdoor grill to medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate.
• Combine onion and cilantro in the bowl of a food processor; pulse until minced. Add ground beef substitute, paprika, Greek seasoning, cumin, cinnamon, cayenne, salt, and pepper; pulse until well combined. Form mixture into eight 4x2-inch patties.
• Cook patties on the preheated grill until no longer pink in the center, 7 to 8 minutes per side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 160 degrees F (70 degrees C).
• Fill each pita half with shredded lettuce, diced tomato, diced onion, 1 tablespoon tzatziki, and a cooked patty.
