Kofta Balls baked in tomato Sauce

“We have this amazing spice warehouse around the corner and they sold a Kofta mix which was delicious. This meal is so easy and great for when you have guests over for lunch.”

Ingredients

500g Lamb Mince

1 red /Spanish Onion finely chopped

½ cup Chopped parsley Leaves

3 Garlic cloves, crushed

1 tsp Coriander ground

1 tsp Cumin ground

2 Tbs tomato paste

½ tsp cinnamon ground

½ cup fresh breadcrumbs

1 egg whisked

Salt and pepper

2 cans of chopped tomatoes

Handful of Basil

1.       Mix everything except tomatoes, basil, breadcrumbs and egg, once mixed add breadcrumbs and egg and mix well and season with salt and pepper. Roll into 2cm balls on a place and lave in fridge for 15 Minutes.

2.       Place the balls in a roasting dish and put in a 200 degree oven for 30 minutes until brown.

3.       Once Brown add chopped Basil and pour over the cans of tomatoes and put back into the oven for another 30 minutes.

4.       Serve on-top of fresh rocket and add a dollop of Greek yogurt mixed with sliced Spanish onion and Cucumber.

Serves 2 but I always double the recipe as it easily fits into a roasting tray where the tomatoes easily cover the meatballs. If I have left overs I put them in a roll for by husband for lunch.
