Kofta

Kofta sounds so much nicer than skinless sausage but essentially that's what it is. Lean and as tasty as you want it to be. Add in pine nuts, use diced eggplant, add some chilli, serve with yoghurt etc etc.

500gms mince

Parsley minced

Oregano minced

Basil leaves minced

Thyme minced

Rind of 1 lemon

2 tbs marinaded feta

2 cloves garlic minced

1 egg

1 cup bread crumbs

2 mushrooms minced

Salt and pepper

Marinated feta

Sour cream

Shredded basil

Juice of half a lemon

Steamed vegetables

Combine the bread crumbs, mince, egg, minced herbs, mushroom, rind, garlic, salt and pepper and feta in a large bowl for 5 minutes. Working the meat makes it bind better. Form the mixture into short sausages. I wet my hands with olive oil as I go so that the mixture doesn't stick to my fingers or each other. Shallow fry over a medium heat turning when they have nice colour. While the kofta are cooking combine the shredded basil, sour cream and lemon juice. Top the kofta with the basil flavoured sour cream and serve with steamed vegetables.
