Ingredients

  • 400 g Meatless mince
  • 1/2 Red onion chopped extra finely
  • 1 Garlic clove
  • 1/4 cup Pistachios
  • 1 tsp Salt
  • 1 tsp Black pepper
  • 1 tsp Red chili flakes
  • 1 tsp Coriander seeds
  • 1 tsp Cumin seeds
  • 10 g Mint, chopped
  • 10 g Rosemary, chopped

Instructions

  • First of all, get all your ingredients ready, this always makes the preparation easier. I hate it when I have to dive in the cupboards in the middle of cooking to find the next ingredient.
  • Start by grinding up the cumin seeds and the coriander seeds. You can do this in a mortar or a food processor.
  • Add the pistachios. If you are using a food processor you can just chuck everything in there and grind the seeds and nuts at the same time.
  • Add all the herbs, spices, onion and the pressed garlic to the vegan mince.
  • Now comes the fun part. Mix everything together. You can use a spoon but its definitely more fun to do it by hand.
  • Now, I know they look a bit like a turd on a stick but trust me this will be very delicious. Form the dough around the stick with your hands. Make sure they are a bit tight as they might try to fall apart on the BBQ.
  • When you've formed all your koftas, stick them in the fridge for about 30 minutes.
  • Grill the koftas on a BBQ for about 5-10 minute each side. This is basically just to cook the onion and heat the koftas, and to get fun griddle marks on them as well.
  • We enjoyed our koftas with home-made tzatziki sauce, salad, bread, and some antipasti stuff like olives, artichokes, sundried tomatoes.
