Best Spicy Beef Koftas With Chickpea Puree Recipes
TWISTED BEEF KOFTAS (MIDDLE-EASTERN MEATBALLS)
Traditionally made with lamb and mint, this is my own altered version of the scrumptious Indian dish. These meatballs are pretty spicy, so season to your known preferences. I like to use lots of pepper and cayenne and minimal salt. The prep time can be cut by preparing the ingredients in a food processor. All measurements are approximate, feel free to use what you have on hand! There are many ways to serve them. My favorite method is in a fresh, warm pita with a cucumber-yogurt sauce or with terriyaki and a handful of onions. My boyfriend likes to eat his with spicy mustard. Or for a flavor crossover use them as meatballs for spaghetti! Try a cool, light salad as a side, and don't forget dessert!

Steps:
- COMBINE beef, GRATED red onion, parsley, mint, allspice, GRATED lemon rind and juice of lemon in bowl.
- Make in 7 or 8 rolled sausages.
- SPRAY pan with oil and cook beef until cooked.
- NOTE: To make it easier to cook, make sure sausages or rolled evenly.
- NOTE: I put a plate and a can from the pantry on top to help to brown evenly.
- In separate bowl, COMBINE vanilla low-fat yogurt and mint sauce (I used from the bottle; thick or thin will do).
- Will serve with grape tomatoes and Bill Granger's Spiced Pumpkin recipe listed at ZAAR!
- ENJOY!
- **UPDATED NOTE: If the combination FEELS dry, you can add up to 2 Tablespoon of Greek Yogurt too as if the mixture is ultra dry before you grill, it will taste like that too!
