Kofta bi Tahini recipe, eat well on universal credit

Around the world takes us to Jordan next with Kofta bi Tahini

THIS S A STOCK SHOT. My photograph was dreadful! (as was my presentaton!) Please also note that the Lemon in this reciipe is overwhelming. Maybe just use one Lemon?

Ingredients:-

Tahini Kofta

For the Kofta:-

500 g minced beef

1 onion chopped

1 cup chopped parsley

1 tomato chopped

2 tablespoons olive oil

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 tsp All Spice

1 tsp Turmeric

1 tsp dried Mint

pinch of cardamom

For the topping:-

Potatoes sliced into thin rounds.

For the Tahini sauce:-

1 pot of Tahini

Juice of three lemons

Salt

4 cups Boiled water

kofta Method:-

(1) Very finely dice parsley and onion and add them to the minced Beef.

(2) Add the tomato, olive oil,salt and spices and knead them into the meat mix.

You can either spread the mix into a large oven proof casserole to cover the entire base or you can form the mix into ovals. If you go with the flat version, make indentations in the meat with your fingertips, this will help the meat take up the flavours of the sauce.

Bringing it all together:-

(1) Bake the Kofta in the oven for 20 minutes.

(2) Fry the sliced Potatoes, boil or bake them until they are slightly softened.

(3) Arrange the Potatoes on top of the Kofta.

(4) Mix Tahina and Lemon juice together, the Tahini will become lighter in consistency at first but it will thicken as you keep on mixing and become lighter in colour.

(5) Slowly add the water while stirring to keep the mixture smooth.

(6) Pour sauce over Kofta until you cover the Kofta and Potatoes.

(7) Cover the casserole with foil, poke a few holes in the foil to allow steam to escape.

(8) Bake in the oven on the lowest rack at 220c for 20 minutes.

(9) Remove the foil and cook until the sauce thickens.

(10) Brown under grill for 1-2 minutes

We served ours with Coleslaw and a bit of dressed salad. But really all we could taste was Lemon - Lemon, oh and Lemon. Which we can still both taste this morning!

Kale & Onion Bhaji recipe, eat well on universal credit

Maybe far from traditional, but we’re not known for being tradition respecters…..

Kale in the Curry. Kale in the Sag Aloe. Just Kale and more Kale. There is a reason for this. But to protect the dignity of others, let’s just say we have quite a bit of Kale to work through….

We’re awash with Kale at the moment so we modified this recipe, to our surprise it actually worked really well.

Ingredients:-

1 Large Onion, roughly sliced
300g of Kale, fried with a little Oil and Five Spice until dark
1 Tsp of Hot Chilli Powder
1 Tsp of Onion Salt
1 Tsp of Garlic Salt
1 Tsp of Baking Powder
1 Tsp of Black Lime Power
1 Tsp of Turmeric
Fresh ground Black Pepper
Water
Oil to fry

Method:-

(1) Fry the Kale with Five Spice until you have a crispy texture and most of the water has been driven out.
(2) Set aside on kitchen paper to drain and cool.
(3) Mix to batter Onion and Kale with enough Water to make a very sticky batter.
(4) Heat Oil to 170c.
(5) Using a ladle and a spoon drop flat fritters into the hot Oil in batches.
(6) When then float remove them and set aside.
(7) Just before serving re-fry them in batches and drain before serving.

The crunch from the fried Kale and the taste was really good. Sometimes you happen on something a bit odd which really works…..
