๐ฒ Baked Potato Kofta
๐งพ Ingredients
0.5 kilo minced meat
1 large grated onion
Salt, black pepper, meat spices
3 or 4 medium potatoes
2 tomatoes, grated or blended
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 tablespoon tomato sauce
1 tablespoon oil or ghee
Hot water
Garlic pepper (optional)
๐จ๐ณ Preparation Method
Prepare the Kofta
In a large bowl, mix the minced meat with the grated onion and spices well.
Shape them into fingers or small balls, depending on your preference.
Brown the kofta in a pan with a drop of oil until they take on some color, or place them directly in a tray if you prefer a thinner texture.
Prepare the Potatoes
Peel the potatoes and cut them into medium-thick rings.
If you like, you can lightly brown them in a pan or bake them in the oven.
Prepare the Sauce:
In a pan, sautรฉ the garlic with a tablespoon of oil.
Add the tomato juice, a tablespoon of sauce, a pinch of salt, and pepper, and let it simmer for a while.
Assemble:
In a baking dish, arrange a layer of potatoes, then the kofta on top, followed by the remaining potatoes.
Pour the tomato sauce over the potatoes. If desired, add sliced bell peppers.
Add a little hot water to cook the potatoes.
Baking:
Cover the tray with foil and bake in a moderate oven (180-200°C) for about 45 minutes.
Remove the foil for the last 10 minutes to give it a nice brown color.
๐ฅ Serving:
Serve with white rice or baladi bread and a green salad or tahini. ๐
