Growing up seeing wild game primarily fried, ground, or jerkied, she started a food blog to show creative and new ideas to prepare wild game in healthy ways.

Winter is the season for holiday parties and gatherings with friends and family. A lot of people put out different spreads or charcuterie boards, but here is a different idea for others to graze…a kofta platter! You can use any ground meat, or even a combination, but I used ground venison. 

I prepared this for a game night at my friends house and it was a hit. I made some venison kofta as part of Greek platter. The key is lots of seasoning and fresh herbs.

You can load this platter with anything you want, I recommend fruits, veggies, some feta cheese, pita bread, and fresh Greek salad. Enjoy!

Serving Size: 4 servings
Time to make: 1 hour
Also works with:  Any ground meat will work

Ingredients

• 1 lb ground venison

• ½ grated onion

• 5 cloves garlic (minced)

• 5 oz crumbled feta

• 3 tbsps fresh parsley

• 1 tsp dried parsley

• 1 tsp dried oregano

• 1 tsp sumac

• ¼ tsp cinnamon

• 1 tsp cumin

• ½ tsp dried mint

• 1 tbsp olive oil

• Salt and pepper to taste

Preparation

• FOR THE KOFTAS
• Instead of grating, I added the fry seasoning, olive oil, onion, parsley and garlic in a food processor and mixed everything together. Wring the extra liquid in cheese cloth so it’s not too wet.
• Add the processed onions and seasonings to ground venison, and mix with your hand until well mixed.
• Add some crumbled feta last, it’s a nice bite of salty tanginess.
• Use your hands to form small football-shaped patties and spray with olive oil
• Air fry for 12 min, turning halfway.
• PUTTING IT TOGETHER
• Make a platter with Mediterranean-inspired ingredients. Anything people can graze on. Some ideas include: feta cheese, grapes or other fruit, olives, tzatziki, hummus, Greek salad, veggies, pitas and enjoy!
