Kafta with Tahini Sauce

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Kafta with Tahini Sauce.

1. Step 1

   Start by preheating your oven to a cozy 375°F (190°C).

2. Step 2

   While the oven warms up, grab a mixing bowl and combine your ground beef with a sprinkle of salt and pepper.

3. Step 3

   Give it a good mix until every bit of beef is evenly seasoned, ensuring that each bite is packed with flavor.

4. Step 4

   Now, shape the seasoned beef into six small, finger-like pieces and arrange them on an ungreased baking sheet, ready for their oven debut.

5. Step 5

   Pop them into the preheated oven and let them bake for about seven minutes, or until they start to turn a lovely golden brown.

6. Step 6

   While the meat fingers are baking, let’s whip up a delicious tahini sauce.

7. Step 7

   In a separate bowl, whisk together some water, tahini, fresh lemon juice, mixed spices, and a pinch of salt and pepper.

8. Step 8

   Keep whisking until the tahini dissolves and the mixture becomes light and fluffy—this should take about five minutes.

9. Step 9

   Once you have that perfect consistency, transfer the tahini mixture to a saucepan and set it over low heat.

10. Step 10

    Stir it gently and constantly until it begins to simmer, which should take around three minutes.

11. Step 11

    Now, it’s time to bring everything together! Carefully add your baked meat fingers to the saucepan with the tahini sauce.

12. Step 12

    Let them simmer together, stirring occasionally, until the meat is fully cooked and no longer pink inside.

13. Step 13

    This should take about thirty minutes, and to ensure they’re perfectly done, an instant-read thermometer should read at least 160°F (70°C) when inserted into the center.

14. Step 14

    And there you have it! A delightful dish that’s not only easy to make but also bursting with flavor.

15. Step 15

    Enjoy your meal!.
