Method

You’ll need: air fryer · chopping board · knife · grater

  1. Finely grate half the onion and chop half the parsley. Knead both well with the beef mince, cumin, paprika and salt.
  2. With damp hands, shape the mince into eight long kofta and brush them thinly with olive oil.
  3. Place the kofta in the basket with a little space between them and cook at 200 °C for 10 to 12 minutes without preheating, turning after 6 minutes.
  4. Stir the yoghurt with the finely sliced mint, crushed garlic and a pinch of salt.
  5. Dice the tomatoes and the rest of the onion and mix with the remaining parsley and the lemon juice.
  6. Serve the kofta with the mint yoghurt and tomato salad.

Good to know

Kofta from the barbecue taste of summer; from the air fryer they taste just as good in autumn. Browned outside, juicy inside, and the kitchen stays tidy.

Swaps

Beef mince → lamb mince (stronger flavour). Yoghurt → skyr (more protein). Parsley → coriander (fresher). Tomato salad → cucumber and tomato salad (more water content).

Cooking tips

Press a slight dip into each kofta with your thumb so they don't puff up as they cook. Mince is cooked through when it reaches 70 °C inside.

Storage

Cooked kofta keep for 2 days in the fridge, and raw ones can be frozen for up to 3 months.

Allergens

Contains milk; suitable for children. In pregnancy, cook the kofta right through.
