ANCESTRAL CHICKEN KOFTA WITH YOGURT-TAHINI SAUCE

ANCESTRAL CHICKEN KOFTA WITH YOGURT-TAHINI SAUCE

 

 

INGREDIENTS (Makes 4 servings):

●  1 lb Force of Nature Ground Chicken Ancestral  

●  ¾ cup Greek yogurt

●  3 tablespoons tahini, stirred

●  1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

●  Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

●  1 medium yellow, finely chopped 

●  2 garlic cloves, finely chopped

●  ¼ cup extra-virgin olive oil

●  Sea salt 

●  1 teaspoon ground cumin

●  ¾ teaspoon ground coriander

●  ½ teaspoon paprika

●  ¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes (preferably Aleppo pepper)

●  1 large egg, lightly beaten

●  1/2 cup finely chopped parsley

●  1/4 cup finely chopped mint 

●  Halved pita, for serving 

 

PREPARATION:

  • Make the yogurt-tahini sauce: in a small bowl, stir together the yogurt, tahini, and lemon juice until smooth. Season to taste with salt and pepper and set aside.
  • Heat a No.10 Field Skillet over medium heat for a couple of minutes. Add 2 tablespoons of oil, the onion, and garlic and season with salt. Cook, stirring frequently, until softened and lightly browned, 4 minutes. Add the coriander, cumin, paprika, and pepper flakes and cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 1 minute. Transfer to a bowl and let cool. 
  • Add the chicken, egg, parsley, mint, and 1 teaspoon salt. Mix well with your hands. Divide the chicken mixture into 8 portions, then form each into an oval-shaped log. The kofta mixture will be very loose; if it’s too loose to shape with your hands, refrigerate the mixture for about 30 minutes or until it firms up a bit.
  • Heat the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil in the skillet over medium-low heat. Add the kofta and cook until well browned all over and an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center reads 165°F, about 10 minutes. If the kofta begin to brown too quickly, lower the heat. 
  • Transfer the kofta to a place and serve with the yogurt-tahini sauce and pita.
  • ENJOY!
