Weber's Kofta Burgers

















The kofta spices, parsley and garlic make for a extremely flavorful burger. I did not make the dressing to go with, but will next time around; just did not have the ingredients on hand. I used a pound of ground chuck and adjusted the kofta to accommodate the lesser amount.

Ingredients for Dressing:

  • 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 1/2 cup sesame tahini
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
  • 3 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon Kosher salt
Directions for Dressing:
In a small bowl combine the dressing ingredients. If the dressing is too thick, whisk in up to 3 tablespoons of water until your desired consistency is reached.

Ingredients for Kofta:
  • 1 1/2 pound ground chuck
  • 1/2 cup minced fresh parsley
  • 1 tablespoon minced garlic
  • 2 teaspoons ground coriander
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons ground cumin
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons Kosher salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground fresh pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cardamom
  • 1/4 teaspoon turmeric
Directions for Kofta:
Combine the kofta ingredients in a large bowl. Shape into 6 patties of equal size and thickness and make an indentation about 1-inch wide in center of each patty. Brush patties with oil.

Grill the patties over direct high heat, with the lid closed until cooked to medium, 8-10 minutes, turning the patties once.

Serve the the dressing and slices of fresh tomato.
