Instructions

Prep salsa

1 Prep salsa

  • Preheat the oven to 220°C/200°C fan.
  • Peel and chop the red onion in half (reserving the other half for the casserole). Peel the garlic.
  • Deseed the red pepper and chop into chunks.
  • Slice the large green chilli (spicy!) in half and remove the seeds.
  • Pick the parsley leaves.
  • To a food processor, add the ingredients and pulse 8-10 times until finely chopped - this is the kofta mix.
Tip! Alternatively, use a box grater and/or knife to finely chop everything.
Mix kofta

2 Mix kofta

  • In a large mixing bowl, add the mince, tomato paste, arabic mix masala, curry powder, smoked paprika, a generous pinch of black pepper and the kofta mix.
  • Crumble the chicken stock cube on top, and knead the mixture well until fully combined and all the ingredients are distributed.
Tip! If cooking for kids, you may keep a portion of mince plain without the kofta ingredients to bake separately.
Bake casserole

3 Bake casserole

  • Slice the tomatoes. Slice the reserved onion.
  • To a medium baking dish, add the kofta and use your hands to spread it towards the edges.
  • Top with the tomatoes and onion, drizzle with pomegranate molasses and olive oil.
  • Bake for 20-25 min until the meat has cooked through.
  • Turn on the grill. Bake the top for 5-7 min until the tomatoes are roasted and the sauce is bubbly and reduced.
Tip! During baking, the kofta and tomatoes will produce a delicious sauce for the rice!
Cook rice

4 Cook rice

  • Meanwhile, rinse and drain the rice.
  • Add the rice, a pinch of salt and the measured water to a pot with a lid and bring to a boil over a high heat.
  • Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover, and cook for 12-14 min or until the water is absorbed and rice is cooked.
  • Once cooked, remove the pot and keep covered until serving.
Make mint yogurt

5 Make mint yogurt

  • Pick and finely chop the mint leaves.
  • In a small bowl, combine the yogurt, mint, a pinch of salt to taste.
  • Mix until smooth and set aside.
  • Slice the cucumber in half and into strips.
Tip! If cooking for kids, reserve a portion of plain yogurt to the side.
Serve

6 Serve

  • Slice the kofta into squares.
  • Serve the One-Pan Baked Lamb Kofta and Tomatoes over Rice, with extra sauce from the pan.
  • Top with the mint yogurt and serve with fresh cucumbers.
Tip! If cooking for kids, serve the kofta, rice, yogurt, and cucumbers separately.
