Greek Kofta

Well probably a Greek person will say that this is not the right recipe for Kofta, let's say this is my own version of the Kofta ;-) On sunday I made a big pan with the sauce in that way we can eat another time somewhere this week.

The ingredients you need for about 2 adults and 1 child:

• 2 chopped onions
• 3 garlic cloves
• 300 gr. minced beef
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1 and 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
• Chopped parsley
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1 pot chopped tomatoes (400 gr.)
• 1 courgette
• 250 gr. white rice (it depends on how hungry you are)

Mix 1 of the chopped onions with some of the parsley, garlic, cinnamon, cumin and pepper with the minded beef, the ideas would be to leave it to rest for about 1 hour, if you have time, that will give of course more taste. Then make about 8 meat balls, that is the kofta.

In a pan with some olive oil bake the meat balls round. Take them out of the pan and bake the other onion, add some more parsley and the tomatoes. Put the kofta back into the pan and cook for about 15 to 20 minutes slowly. Add some salt and pepper to the sauce.

Serve the kofta with the white rice, some dried oregano, bread and a good red wine.
