Food from Cyprus - Kofte


These little meat balls are ideal to serve as a starter or 'meze'. They would also make a lovely lunch served in warm pitta bread with salad and humous or Raita. They are great with chips too!


Here is the recipe:

1 lb Minced lamb
2 Large Potatoes
1 Medium to large onion
Bunch of Parsley
Pinch of cinnamon
Salt and Pepper

Peel, wash and grate the potatoes and onion into a bowl, then using a sieve, squeeze out the excess liquid.
Add the minced lamb, chopped parsley, cinnamon and salt and pepper and mix together.
Form the mixture into little balls and deep fry for about 10 minutes or until thoroughly cooked. Drain on kitchen paper and serve.

(For a vegetarian option omit the mince for 2 potatoes. Using 4 potatoes in total).

Next week I will post a main course recipe along with some drawings.

More Paintng today, I am not able to paint everyday so I appreciate every day I can have for painting. I hope to post some new paintings soon.
