- 1 tbsp chopped mint
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 garlic clove , finely chopped
- 2 x 400g cans chopped tomato
- 1-2 tsp harissa
- 1 tsp sugar
- 200g tub Greek yogurt
- 2 tbsp toasted pine nuts
Instructions
- Soak eight wooden skewers in water for 20 minutes, to stop them burning.

- To make the sauce, heat the oil in a pan, add the garlic and briefly fry. Add tomatoes, harissa, sugar and seasoning. Simmer, uncovered, for 15-20 mins until sauce has thickened.
- Grill the kofte for 6-8 mins, turning until they are nicely browned (be careful not to burn the skewers). Spoon the sauce over a warm platter, drizzle over the yogurt and put the kofte on top. Scatter with pine nuts and serve with pittas or couscous (recipe, below).
