Meal 1

4 serves

Turkey and lentil kofta - Salad

Ingredients

  • Half of your kofta
  • 4 Roma tomatoes, chopped
  • 1 green capsicum, chopped
  • 2 Lebanese cucumbers, chopped
  • 1 small red onion, thinly sliced
  • ⅓ cup Kalamata olives, pitted, halved
  • 3 teaspoons red wine vinegar
  • 1½ tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
  • ⅓ cup reduced fat plain Greek yoghurt
  • lemon wedges, to serve

Method

Step 1

Heat oil in a large non-stick frying pan over medium-high heat. Cook kofta for 8-10 minutes, turning occasionally, until evenly browned and cooked through.

Step 2

To make salad, combine tomatoes, capsicum, cucumbers, onion and olives in a large bowl. Whisk red wine vinegar and extra-virgin olive oil in a small bowl, season with pepper and pour over salad. Toss gently.

Step 3

Serve kofta with salad, Greek yoghurt and lemon wedges.

Tips
  • Refrigerate any leftover cooked kofta and salad in a container for up 2 days. Use as a tasty filling for wholemeal pita pockets or wraps.
