I learnt to cook rustic dishes from Cyprus, (which I still make today). Here is my ex MIL's recipe for Kofte which I serve in pita bread and a salad.

Ingredients

4 serv.
  • lbs lean ground lamb (or beef)1 1⁄2 lbs
  • medium onion, grated1
  • cup white breadcrumb1 cup
  • tablespoon water1 tablespoon
  • eggs2
  • cup fresh parsley, finely chopped1⁄4 cup
  • cup of fresh mint, finely chopped (or 1 1/2 tablespoons of dried mint)1⁄4 cup
  • teaspoon salt (or to taste)1⁄2 teaspoon
  • teaspoon white pepper1⁄2 teaspoon

Step-by-step instructions

  1. 1

    In a bowl add all the ingredients and lightly combine mixture. Set aside in the fridge for the flavors to meld at least 2 to 4 hours.

  2. 2

    Form the mixture into balls then roll between your palms into sausage shapes.

  3. 3

    Add a little olive oil on a cookie sheet covered with foil and bake for 35 to 45 minutes at 350 degrees or until Kofte is cooked through.

  4. 4
