👨‍🍳 作り方

1. 1

   Prepare the kofta mixture: In a medium bowl, combine the ground lamb, finely chopped onion, minced garlic, chopped mint, allspice, cayenne pepper, nutmeg, salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly with your hands until well combined. Be careful not to overmix.

   💡 プロのコツ: Using your hands ensures the ingredients are evenly distributed. Dampen your hands slightly to prevent sticking.
2. 2

   Shape the kofta: Divide the meat mixture into 10-12 equal portions. Roll each portion into a long patty or oval shape, about 3 inches long and an inch thick. They will shrink slightly during cooking.

   💡 プロのコツ: Consistency in size will ensure even cooking.
3. 3

   Cook the kofta: Heat olive oil in a large skillet or frying pan over medium heat. Add the kofta patties in batches, being careful not to overcrowd the pan. Cook for about 8-10 minutes, turning occasionally, until browned and cooked through.

   💡 プロのコツ: Cook in batches to ensure proper browning rather than steaming.
4. 4

   Make the glaze: In the last 2-3 minutes of cooking, brush the kofta with pomegranate molasses. Continue to cook, turning the kofta to coat them evenly and allow the glaze to caramelize slightly.

   💡 プロのコツ: The pomegranate molasses will thicken and become sticky as it heats.
5. 5

   Serve: Remove the kofta from the pan. Serve hot, drizzled with any remaining glaze from the pan. This dish is excellent served with rice, bulgur wheat, or a fresh salad.

   💡 プロのコツ: Garnish with fresh mint or parsley for added freshness.
