Cooking Instructions
Instructions for 2 people (double for 4)
1
Preheat the oven to 200°C/ 180°C (fan)/ 425°F/ Gas 7
Boil a kettle
Cut the potatoes (skins on) into large, bite-sized pieces
Add the potatoes to a pot of boiled water with a pinch of salt, bring to the boil over a high heat and cook for 15-20 min or until they're fork-tender
Once cooked, drain and leave them to steam dry in the pot
2
Meanwhile, add the white wine vinegar, a pinch of salt and 1 tbsp [2 tbsp]sugar to a large bowl and stir until they're dissolved
Grate 250g [500g]red cabbage, discarding the tough stem
Add the grated cabbage to the bowl, give everything a good mix up and set aside until later to pickle slightly
3
Peel the brown onion[s] and cut in half
Grate 1/2 [1]onion and slice the remaining onion finely (you'll use the sliced onion in step 5)
Add the grated onion, panko breadcrumbs, baharat, lamb mince and a generous pinch of salt to a large bowl
4
Knead the meat thoroughly with clean hands for 2-3 min (this helps the mixture hold together when cooking) then shape into 6 [12]koftas
Add the koftas to an oiled baking tray and put the tray in the oven for 12-15 min or until they're cooked through
5
Meanwhile, heat a large, wide-based pan (preferably non-stick) with a large knob of butter over a medium-low heat
Once hot, add the sliced onion and cook for 4-5 min or until it's softened
6
Meanwhile, peel and finely chop (or grate) the garlic
Add the chopped garlic, natural yoghurt, tahini paste, the juice of 1/2 [1] lemon to a bowl
Add a splash of cold water and a generous pinch of salt and pepper and give everything a good mix up – this is your tahini yoghurt
Chop the parsley finely, including the stalks
7
Once the onion has softened, add the cayenne pepper (Can't handle the heat? Go easy!) and tomato paste cook for 1 min
Add the drained potatoes, a drizzle of olive oil and a generous pinch of salt
Crush the potatoes lightly and cook for 5-6 min or until they're starting to crisp
Once crisp, remove from the heat and add the juice of the remaining lemon and chopped parsley
