Cooking Steps
Before starting, preheat the oven to 450°F. Wash and dry all produce. Halve zucchini lengthwise, then cut into 1/4-inch half-moons.Core, then cut pepper into 1/2-inch pieces. Peel, then cut carrot into 1/2-inch rounds. Roughly chop parsley. Peel, then mince or grate garlic.
Add beef, dukkah spice, panko, half the garlic, half the parsley and 1/4 tsp salt (dbl for 4 ppl) to a medium bowl. Season with pepper, then combine. Roll mixture into six 2-inch logs (12 logs for 4 ppl).
Arrange koftas on one side of a parchment-lined baking sheet. Add carrots and 1 tbsp oil (dbl for 4 ppl) to the other side of the baking sheet. Season carrots with salt and pepper, then toss to coat. Roast in the middle of the oven until carrots are golden-brown and koftas are cooked through, 12-16 min. **
Meanwhile, heat a large non-stick pan over medium-high heat. When hot, add 1 tbsp oil, then zucchini and peppers. (NOTE: For 4 ppl, cook in 2 batches, using 1 tbsp oil per batch.) Season with salt. Cook, stirring often, until tender-crisp, 6-8 min.

Review summary
Updated on Aug 2026- Flavour: The dukkah-spiced koftas and garlic hummus are widely praised for their bold, authentic Middle Eastern flavours. Some reviewers found the koftas or vegetables a little bland on their own, but noted the hummus brought the dish together.
- Ease of prep: Most reviewers found this straightforward to make, though several noted it takes closer to 35–60 minutes rather than the time listed.
- Suggestions: Add an egg to the beef mixture for a more tender kofta; reduce the water in the hummus to keep it from becoming too thin. Consider sautéing the garlic before adding it to the hummus if you prefer a milder flavour, and reduce the amount if your cloves are large.
- Leftovers: This meal reheats well and makes a great next-day lunch, though some reviewers added extra vegetables or a grain like orzo or bulgur to stretch it further.
- Portions: Many reviewers felt the vegetable hash was on the small side, particularly for four people; adding an extra pepper, carrot, or onion to the hash is an easy way to bulk it up.
