Think of this recipe as summer on a sheet pan. The warm grilled vegetables and bulgur wilt the escarole just enough to soften its flavor and texture. The balsamic reduction adds a final note of sweetness. If you are in a rush, you can use purchased balsamic reduction, but making your own takes only a few minutes. It's worth cooking up a big batch to keep on hand for drizzling on roasted or grilled vegetables, poultry, pork and fish fillets.

Sheet Pan Kofta and Tomatoes

This easy sheet pan kofta and tomatoes is perfect for a quick weeknight dinner.

Kofta is usually made on the grill or seared in a pan. This oven-baked version uses less oil and requires little tending. I usually serve kofta with white rice (leftovers work too), but lavash, pita or a green salad would also be welcome accompaniments.
