Kafta with Tahini

About a month ago, I posted the recipe for Kafta with Potatoes. But there is many other ways to cook this lovely meat: it can be grilled on a barbecue, put in a pita bread and cooked in the oven and many other different ways as well. Today I prepared it with Tahini. I remember my grandmother used to cook it for us when we would go over her house for dinner, and I liked it a lot. It’s a less common way to prepare Kafta, but it is very tasty. Try it yourself!

Ingredients:

• 500 grams of minced meat
• 1 cup of chopped parsley
• 1 onion finely chopped
• 4 potatoes
• 1 cup of Tahini
• 3 lemons squeezed
• salt, seven spices
• frying oil
• 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
• Some pine seeds

Preparation:

• Mix the minced meat with chopped parsley and chopped onion in a food processor (or you can take it ready from the butcher if he knows how)
• Season with 1 small tsp salt and 1/2 tsp seven spices
• Preheat the oven at 180C, grease a tray, place the Kafta in thin layer and flatten it with a wet hand
• Put it in the oven for about 10 minutes. In the meantime, peel the potatoes and cut them into thin slices
• Fry the potatoes until golden
• Mix the Tahini with one cup of water, the lemon juice and salt; flavor to your taste
• Take the Kafta from the oven, place the fried potatoes over the meat, and cover them with the Tahini sauce
• Place in the oven for about 30 minutes until the sauce thickens
• While waiting for the food in the oven to cook, roast the pine seeds in a sauce pan
• Serve it with cooked rice and sprinkle the roasted the pine seeds over it

ET VOILA..C’EST TOUT!
