👨🍳 Инструкции
- 1
In a large bowl, combine ground lamb, ground beef, grated onion, chopped parsley, minced garlic, cumin, coriander, cinnamon, allspice, salt, and pepper. Mix well with your hands until all ingredients are evenly distributed. Do not overmix.
- 2
Divide the meat mixture into 16 equal portions. Roll each portion into a small oval or ball shape.
- 3
In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat 1 tbsp olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic for the sauce and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute. Be careful not to burn the garlic.
- 4
Pour in the plain yogurt and the 1/4 cup water mixed with cornstarch/flour. Whisk continuously to combine. Add the 0.5 tsp salt for the sauce.
- 5
Bring the yogurt mixture to a gentle simmer over medium-low heat, whisking constantly. Once it starts to thicken slightly, carefully add the kofta meatballs to the pot, ensuring they are submerged in the sauce.
- 6
Reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and let the kofta simmer gently in the yogurt sauce for about 30-40 minutes, or until the meatballs are cooked through. Stir occasionally to prevent the yogurt from sticking to the bottom.
- 7
Taste the sauce and adjust seasoning with salt if needed. The sauce should be creamy and tangy.
- 8
Serve the Jordanian Kofta bil Laban hot, garnished with toasted pine nuts. It is traditionally served with plain white rice or pita bread.
