Here's a family-friendly dinner that's great for a crowd. Make it a complete Middle Eastern feast by setting out bowls of olives, pickled vegetables, chopped pickles, hummus, and za'atar-dusted pita. Invest in some decorative metal skewers to elevate your meal's presentation. You'll also save time by not having to soak wooden skewers, and reduce your waste. If you have extra skewers, grill some extra vegetable kebabs to toss with cooked pasta, a little tomato sauce, and crumbled feta for dinner tomorrow.

Instructions

  1. Coat broiler rack with cooking spray, then preheat broiler.

  4. Broil skewers 5 inches from heat, turning once, until kofta are cooked through and tomatoes are blistered, about 12 minutes.
  5. Meanwhile, to make sauce, stir together yogurt, garlic, lemon juice, and pinch of salt in small bowl. Serve skewers with sauce.
  6. Serving size: 1 kofta kebab, 1 vegetable kebab, and 2 tablespoons sauce
