Beef Koftas with Sweet Potato and Slaw
YUM! This is sure to become a family favourite. This is a go to family meal when I am needing a quick, easy, fresh dinner where the cooking portion isn’t to hands on. You can prepare the beef ahead of time on the skewers and place in the fridge so you can just chuck them in the air fryer for an easy dinner. I love the beef and sweet potatoes with a fresh zingy homemade slaw but you can use store bought, make a green salad, steamed veggies and whatever else you like. You can also cook these on the BBQ if you prefer. Delicious
