Ingredients:
  • 125.00 ml fresh mint leaves
  • 550g lamb mince
  • 60g smooth feta, crumbled
  • 2 green shallots, finely chopped
  • 45g (1/4 cup) pine nuts, toasted
  • 6.25 gm ground cumin
  • 1/2-3/4 tsp dried chilli flakes
  • 2 x 400g cans chickpeas, rinsed, drained
  • 24.00 gm tahini
  • 60ml (1/4 cup) lemon juice
  • 60ml (1/4 cup) water
  • 45.50 gm extra virgin olive oil, plus extra, to serve
  • 1 small (about 200g) beetroot, peeled, cut into matchsticks
  • Lemon wedges, to serve
Instructions:
  • Line a plate with baking paper. Finely chop half of the herbs. Combine the chopped herbs, mince, feta, shallot, pine nuts, garlic, ground cumin, and dried chilli flakes in a food processor. Season with salt and pepper. Pulse until mixture just comes together, being careful not to over-process. Shape tablespoons of the mixture into balls and transfer to the lined plate.
  • To make the hummus, add chickpeas, tahini, remaining garlic, cumin, and chili into a clean food processor. Blend until smooth. In a separate container, mix lemon juice, water, and 2 tablespoons of oil. Gradually pour the lemon mixture into the chickpea blend while the food processor is running until creamy. Season to taste.
  • In a large non-stick frying pan over medium heat, sizzle the kofte in the leftover oil for 8 minutes, flipping occasionally, until fully cooked. Plate and serve.
  • In a bowl, mix together the beetroot, leftover herbs, and remaining pine nuts. Season with salt and pepper. Serve hummus on plates and top with kofte and beetroot salad. Finish with a drizzle of extra oil and accompany with lemon wedges for serving.
