View ProfileThink of Chef Kevin’s Kofta as a burger or individual meatloaf, but infinitely more flavorful, thanks to tender spiced lamb and refreshingly tart tzatziki sauce. He deftly blends ground lamb with a medley of Mediterranean herbs and spices, including garlic, rosemary, oregano, and basil, then hand-forms each patty, sears it to lock in juiciness, and finishes it in the oven. Use the creamy, cool tzatziki—tangy Greek yogurt, extra virgin olive oil, fresh lemon juice, and mint—as a dip for contrasting flavor and texture with each bite. Chef Kevin completes the meal with Herbed Cous-Cous, the slightly larger Israeli kind that has a pleasant chewiness, and a crisp marinated Cucumber Salad. With its perfect balance of protein, carbs, and vegetables, this is exactly the kind of satisfying, healthy meal you might crave after a workout. Or any time.
