Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Kifta Potatoes with Tahini Sauce.
Step 1
Start by preheating your oven to a cozy 400°F (200°C).
Step 2
In a spacious bowl, mix together the ground lamb, finely minced onion, fresh parsley, salt, allspice, and black pepper.
Step 3
Get your hands in there and blend everything until it’s well combined, creating a flavorful mixture.
Step 4
Next, shape this mixture into pieces about 2 1/2 inches long and place them neatly in a baking pan, ready for the oven.
Step 5
Bake the lamb for 15 minutes, allowing those delicious aromas to fill your kitchen.
Step 6
While the lamb is baking, heat a splash of vegetable oil in a frying pan over medium heat.
Step 7
Toss in the potatoes and fry them until they turn a lovely golden brown, which should take about 5 minutes.
Step 8
Once they’re perfectly crispy, remove them from the pan and let them rest on paper towels to soak up any excess oil, then sprinkle them with a pinch of salt for that extra flavor.
Step 9
When the lamb is done baking, take it out of the oven and carefully drain any excess fat from the pan, but keep the oven warm.
Step 10
Now, let’s whip up a creamy tahini sauce! In a food processor, combine garlic, fresh lemon juice, a splash of water, tahini, salt, and pepper.
Step 11
Blend until the mixture is smooth and velvety, then set it aside.
Step 12
It’s time to bring everything together! Arrange the crispy fried potatoes on top of the lamb in the baking dish, then generously pour the tahini sauce over the potatoes and lamb.
Step 13
Drizzle a little olive oil on top for that finishing touch.
Step 14
Pop the baking pan back into the oven and let it bake for another 30 minutes, or until the lamb is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of at least 150°F (65°C).
Step 15
As it bakes, you’ll be treated to an irresistible blend of flavors that will have everyone eagerly awaiting dinner.
Step 16
Enjoy your delicious creation!.
