Difficulty: Easy

The vegan community let out a collective “OMG!” when Funky Fields Minced hit the shelves at Woolworths earlier this year, a beef mince substitute that has taken the meat aisle by storm! I may or may not have purchased 8 packets the first time I found it so I was stoked when they were keen to team up and create a sick summer recipe with me!
With warmer weather slowly creeping in, so too are the invites to summer-type gatherings. No longer will you need to subject yourself to the salad section of the table, or suffer through a sub-par veggie sausage because my Parsley + Lemon Koftas w/ Tzatziki recipe are here to take your next BBQ to the next level. Serve ’em on their lonesome or bung them into a pita with loads of fresh salad and you’ve got yourself a winner, friend!
Ingredients
Koftas
- 1 packet Funky Fields Minced
- 1 generous handful of continental parsley, finely chopped
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- Juice and rind of one lemon
- Salt and pepper
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Tzatziki
- 1/3 cup natural coconut yoghurt
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1/4 Lebanese cucumber, finely diced
- Small handful continental parsley, finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon salt
Method
- In a large bowl, combine the Funky Fields Minced, parsley, garlic, lemon, salt and pepper.
- Using a fork, slowly press down and mix to combine well.
- Grab a mechanical ice cream scoop and use it to portion out mince mixture before rolling into a little sausage shape.
- Repeat with the remaining mixture. At this point, cover and pop them in the fridge if you’d like to cook them up later.
- When you’re ready, add the olive oil to a frypan over medium-high heat.
- Add the koftas and cook for a minute or so before turning. Repeat this until all sides are cooked and remove from the heat.
- In a small bowl, mix together the coconut yoghurt, garlic, cucumber, parsley and salt to make the tzatziki.
- Serve as is or in a pita bread stuffed with salad.
