Kafta with tahini sauce is a comforting classic worth making again.
Ingredients
- 2 lb of prepared kafta
- ( refer to my reel on how-to make kafta from scratch)
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 cup tahini
- 2 tbsp Greek yogurt (full fat)
- 1/2 tbsp salt
- 1/2 tsp citric acid
- 2 cups water
- 1- preheat oven to 400 F, grab a 9×13 baking dish and coat the bottom of the pan with olive oil
Instructions
- 2- start shaping the kafta into 1 1/2 inch long fingers tapered at both ends, add to the pan once prepared. Place the baking dish in the oven until half baked approximately 15-20 minutes.
- 3- prepare the tahini sauce by adding the remaining ingredients to a sauce pan, and reserving 1/2 cup of water from the 2 cups.
- Turn the stove on and whisk until thickened, adding the 1/2 cup of water if necessary. Cook together for another 2 minutes.
- 4- take out the kafta and add the sauce. Place back in the oven and cook until bubbly. Take out immediately and place on top of the stove (the sauce might thicken as it cools down. No worries, you can always add water if preheating).
- 5- enjoy with pita bread, or a side of rice and green salad.
- Bon appetite, sahtain, صحتين 🌻.
