4 Preheat a barbecue grill or chargrill on high. Add the kofte and cook, turning regularly, for 8-10 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through.

5 Spoon the whipped feta over the warmed flatbreads and add the kofte. Serve with the slaw alongside, and sprinkle over the mint leaves, sumac and pine nuts.
