Method
Blitz all the ingredients for the hummus in a food processor (eg NutriBullet) until a dip consistency forms. Add a little extra water if needed. Refrigerate.
Mix all the ingredients for the beef kofta together in a large bowl (except oil). Divide into 8 portions and form a sausage-like shape at the end of 8 skewers. Fry the kofta skewers in oil in a wide frying pan until fully cooked.
In another small pan, quickly fry the pine nuts (no oil) to gently toast them. Serve hummus on plates, drizzle with olive oil. Add kofta skewers, feta and salad. Garnish with pine nuts, herbs and chilli flakes.
Serve with yoghurt and a wedge of lemon.
