Kofte Ingredients

Method

Cooking Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Mixture

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground lamb or beef, chopped onion, minced garlic, parsley, cumin, paprika, salt, and black pepper. If using, add the pine nuts. Mix well with your hands until all ingredients are thoroughly combined.

  2. 2

    Shape the Kofte

    Wet your hands slightly and take a portion of the meat mixture. Shape it into a long oval or cylindrical patty, about 2 inches in length. Repeat until all the mixture is shaped.

  3. 3

    Heat the Pan

    Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.

  4. 4

    Cook the Kofte

    Add the shaped kofte to the hot skillet and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until they are browned and cooked through.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Remove the kofte from the skillet and let them rest for a few minutes. Serve warm with your choice of sides like rice, salad, or pita bread.
