Where’s the full recipe - why can I only see the ingredients?

Accompaniments: Dill pickle cucumber salad; Zhaleh's classic saffron-stained tahdig; Perfectly puffy pitas

Always check the publication for a full list of ingredients. An Eat Your Books index lists the main ingredients and does not include 'store-cupboard ingredients' (salt, pepper, oil, flour, etc.) - unless called for in significant quantity.

    The fixins make the dish. Keep an eye out on temp

    Good flavor but maybe too plain - agreed with Tvigdal that some spices would go a long way. Fixings were great.

    Really easy to make. I would maybe add a little more spices next time.

    The kofta kebabs were absolutely fantastic, especially with the “fixings.” Highly recommend this recipe. Be aware that the meat mixture is made ahead and needs to rest for six-24 hours, so plan ahead.
