Mediterranean Brisket

This Mediterranean Brisket is so delicious and can be made with very little work. The fat on the brisket should not be cut off before cooking. This fat helps to keep the meat from drying out. You cook the brisket the day before, so that you can cool it and easily remove the fat, as brisket just improves with an overnight rest in the refrigerator.

Mini Kofta Patties with Tzatziki

These Mini Kofta Patties with Tzatziki are meant to be made with lamb, but I hate lamb and I made them with ground beef. Also, they are meant to be shaped onto skewers and grilled, but that's too much work. You can eat them in pita bread with the Tzatziki. Tzatziki is a Greek yogurt and cucumber sauce, that is very refreshing.
