- 200 g Konjac rice
- 180 g Ground lamb
- 1 tbsp Tahini
- 1 tbsp Olive oil
- 1½ tsp Ground cumin
- 1 tsp Sumac (optional)
- 30 g Tomato (optional)
- 10 g Parsley (optional)
- ¼ Lemon (optional)
Method
- Work the cumin, salt and half the chopped parsley into the lamb with your hands until it turns slightly sticky, then shape it into four short fingers.
- Drain the konjac rice and rinse it thoroughly under cold water, then dry-fry it in a hot pan for 3 minutes, shaking often, until the water has driven off and the grains squeak.
- Loosen the tahini with cold water a spoonful at a time until it turns pale and pourable, and sharpen it with the lemon. Dice the tomato.
- Heat the olive oil in a heavy pan over medium-high and cook the kofta for 8 minutes, turning them so all sides brown and the fat renders out into the pan.
- Spread the konjac rice on a plate and set the kofta over it, pouring on the spiced fat from the pan. Spoon the tahini across, scatter the tomato, sumac and the rest of the parsley.
