How to Make It
1. Step
In a medium bowl, combine the Impossible™ Burger, salt, black pepper, cumin, paprika, chili powder, mint, oregano, and onion.
2. Step
Cut the yellow and red peppers into ¾-inch pieces and the zucchini in half lengthwise, then into ¾-inch-thick moons.
3. Step
Assemble the skewers: Thread 3 pieces of bell pepper and zucchini onto a skewer, leaving about 1½ inches of space at the base. Mold 2 tablespoons of the Impossible™ Burger mixture around the skewer about 1½ inches above the vegetables. Add 3 more pieces of vegetable, another portion of beef, and 3 more vegetables. Repeat to build the remaining kebabs (8 total). Place the kebabs on a plate and refrigerate for 1 hour.
4. Step
Make the garlic sauce: In a food processor, combine the garlic, lemon juice, and salt. Pulse 5 times, until the garlic is minced. Add the yogurt and mayonnaise, and process until smooth. Refrigerate until ready to use.
5. Step
Preheat the grill to 350°F (180°C).
6. Step
Drizzle 3 tablespoons of olive oil all over the kebabs. Season the vegetables with salt.
7. Step
Place the kebabs on the grill and cook for 5 minutes on each side, or until the “meat” is cooked through and the vegetables are tender. Remove from the grill.
8. Step
Meanwhile, brush the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil over the pita bread. Grill for 45–60 seconds per side, or until lightly toasted. Remove from the grill and let cool slightly, then cut into triangles.
9. Step
To serve, divide the arugula, parsley, mint, tomatoes, cucumber, and pickled red onions among 4 plates. Drizzle with the lemon juice. Place 2 kebabs on each plate and serve immediately with the garlic sauce and grilled pita bread alongside.
