Introduction
These are scrumptious, the mix of nuts, spices and good quality mince makes delicious koftas
Oven temperature
medium heated grill
Steps
Preparation
Peel and finely chop the onion and garlic cloves
De-seed and finely chop the red pepper
Chop peppadews and coriander
All the above can be whizzed in a processor as they want to be finely minced but NOT puréed. Sprinkle the stock cube into the vegetables and give one more pulse..
Finely chop all nuts.
Instructions
Dry fry the nuts until just browning. Take off heat immediately and put in another container so they don’t cook and burn.
When the nuts have cooled add them to the minced vegetables and spices, give a good mix
Now add the mince and use your hands to mix all ingredients together- keep mixing until well-integrated.
Line a baking sheet with foil and form the mixture into patties approx. .15 cm depth. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
Place under pre-heated grill and cook for about 5 minutes on both sides until cooked through.
Cooks tips
These koftas can be made in advance once the meat has been added and all ingredients mixed freeze for up 3 months. Then grill from frozen they will take a little longer to cook.
Serve with
Creamy whipped feta dip and naan bread
