Killer Kofta Bites are a play on one of the all-time greatest spiced meats of the world, kofta kebab. Kofta is typically loaded ontoa skewer, grilled, and eaten with tahini sauce or toum, bread and trimmings. My kofta bites are loaded with fresh herbs and spices and baked. Easy. Killer! The recipe expands very easily for a crowd.
Line a sheet pan with foil or parchment paper. Heat the oven to 350°F.
In a medium bowl, gently mix the ground meat with all of the seasonings.
Shape the meatballs using a heaping tablespoon of the meat mixture. Be ginger about shaping; too much handling makes these less tender. Place the meatballs on the prepared sheet pan about an inch apart.
Bake for about 10 minutes, or until a thermometer registers 135°F.
Serve the kofta meatballs immediately with tahini sauce.
