INGREDIENTS
- 500g mini lamb koftes
- 1 tbsp. olive oil
- 12 mini pittas
- ¼ cup MasterFoods™ Professional Roasted Garlic Aioli
- 1 tbsp. cumin seeds, lightly toasted
- 1 carrot, peeled into ribbons
- 1 medium cucumber, peeled into ribbons
- Handful of fresh coriander, for garnish
- 3 limes, cut into wedges
For The Pickle:
- 250 ml hot water
- ½ tsp. sugar
- 1 tsp. salt
- Juice of 1 lime
- 1 red onion, thinly sliced
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Cooking Instructions:
-
1 Heat large frying pan and heat oil over medium heat. Cook koftes for 10 to 15 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.
-
2 Gently heat pitta breads until warmed through. For assembling each pitta, spoon a teaspoon of aioli as a base then add a kofte, a few ribbons of cucumber and carrot, some pickled red onion pieces, a sprinkle of cumin seeds, and garnish with coriander and a squeeze of lime.
Tips:
-
1 Replace kofte with sweet potato falafels for a vegetarian option.
-
2 Add MasterFoods™ Professional Paprika and ground cumin to the aioli to make a boldly flavoured Middle Eastern style dip.
-
3 Aioli is also great glue for helping herbs and crumbs coat cooked meats and roasted vegetables.
