Ingredients
Recipe submitted by Lee Mooney
Wooden Skewers
500g pack minced lamb
1 small red onion, finely chopped
1 tsp ground coriander
1 tbsp chopped mint
1 jar Al'Fez Kofta Kebab
Pitta breads
For the Sauce:
1 tbsp olive oil
1 garlic clove, finely chopped
2 cans chopped tomatoes
1-2 tsp harissa
1 tsp sugar
200g tub Greek yoghurt
2 tbsp toasted pine nuts
Method
1. Soak eight wooden skewers in water for 20 minutes, to stop them burning.
2. Using your hands, mix the meat in a bowl with the onion, coriander, mint and plenty of seasoning. Shape into 8 sausages, about 10cm long, then thread a bamboo skewer through the centre of each.
3. To make the sauce, heat the oil in a pan, add the garlic and briefly fry. Add tomatoes, harissa, sugar and Al'Fez Kofta Kebab. Simmer, uncovered, for 15-20 mins until sauce has thickened.
4. Grill the kofte for 6-8 mins, turning until they are nicely browned (be careful not to burn the skewers). Spoon the sauce over a warm platter, drizzle over the yogurt and put the kofte on top. Scatter with pine nuts and serve with pittas or couscous.
