Beef Kofta with Hummus

These are great little things that can be served as a main with hummus and a side salad with bread or as little appetizer sticks, they also make a great finger food for a party. They are very quick and easy to put together with hardly any prep this makes them a perfect last minute meal. You can be creative with the herbs and change out or add more it is up to you.
