Ingredients
- 200g Minced chicken
- 50g Fresh tomato
- 20g Fresh zaatar (a Middle Eastern mix of oregano, thyme, sesame seeds and other herbs)
- 10g Thyme
- 10g Garlic
- 10g Lemon zest
- 10g Salt
- 10g White pepper
- 10g Black pepper
- 10g Cumin powder
- 50g Wild mushroom
- 50g Fresh white mushroom
- 10g Vava beans (or broad beans)
- 20g Butter
- 30g Akkawi cheese (a soft white brie type cheese)
- 20g Cheddar cheese
- 1 Thin slice of baked potato
Instructions
- Using your hands, combine all of the ingredients for the kofta, except the oil. Set aside.
- Tip all the hummus ingredients into a bowl, along with 3 tbsp of the chickpea liquid, then blitz with a hand blender until smooth. If you prefer a looser texture, add more of the chickpea liquid and blend again.
- For the salad, tip the onions into a bowl with the lemon juice and scrunch using your hands to help soften them. Add the chopped parsley and set aside.
- Shape the koftas into 16 balls. Heat the rapeseed oil in a large non-stick frying pan over a medium heat and fry the koftas for 5 mins on each side until browned and cooked through. To finish on a barbecue, cook until they just hold their shape, then thread onto skewers. Cook for 4 mins on each side on the barbecue. Uncooked koftas will keep chilled in an airtight container for a day.
- Divide half of the hummus between two plates. Mix half the quick-pickled onions with half of the cucumbers and tomatoes, then serve the salad with the koftas and hummus. Chill the remaining portions for another day. Will keep covered and chilled for up to two days.
