Pork Koftas (or gourmet middle-eastern boerewors :)


This little recipe comes from one of my favourite magazines, Woolworths Taste! It was hidden in a small back corner of the magazine, but grabbed my taste buds immediately! I'd seen an episode of  "Take on the Take-Away" on BBC Lifestyle a few weeks earlier, in which they'd also made some koftas, and I just had to give it a go. It takes a little effort, but is completely worth it! I like serving it on some crushed new potatoes, and if there are any left over, they make the best sandwiches for the next day!




Ingredients:
6 - 8 Pork Bangers
2 Tablespoons chopped Italian flatleaf parsley
3 teaspoons crushed garlic
1 chopped green chilli
2 teaspoons ground cumin
6 Tablespoons olive oil
Half a chopped red onion
1 can tomatoes
1 teaspoon tomato paste

Directions:
1. Remove mince from the pork bangers

2. Combine mince with
2 T chopped parsley
1 t crushed garlic
1 chopped green chilli
2 t ground cumin
2 T olive oil

3. Roll into bite size balls, and flatten into small saugsages

4. In a pan on medium heat, with 2 T of olive oil, fry koftas until golden and cooked.

5. Meanwhile, add half a chopped onion, 2 t crushed garlic with 2 T olive oil to saucepan.

6. Add can of tomatoes and 1 t tomato paste to saucepan ,and let simmer for 10 minutes.
