After a long day of fasting from sunrise to sunset, there’s nothing more comforting than a homemade meal that brings everyone together.
Kofta bi Seniyah; which translates to “Kofta in the pan” is one of those dishes that fills the house with warmth and mouth-watering aromas. Juicy kofta patties, roasted golden potatoes, sweet tomatoes, onions, and peppers all simmer in a rich, flavourful tomato sauce. It’s hearty, nostalgic, and best enjoyed with rice or fresh pita bread!
Ingredients
For the Kofta:
- Plant-based mince beef (or mince beef)
- ½ onion, grated
- ¼ cup breadcrumbs (I prefer to use Sainsbury's Cranberry, Orange & Chestnut Stuffing for added flavour)
- 2 cloves garlic, crushed
- 2 tbsp chopped fresh coriander
For the Vegetables & Sauce:
- 3 potatoes, peeled & sliced into ¼-inch rounds
- 3 bell peppers, sliced
- 2 onions, sliced
- 3 tomatoes, sliced
- 3 tbsp tomato paste
- 2 cloves garlic, crushed
- 1 tbsp pomegranate molasses
- 2½ cups vegetable broth
- 1 tsp salt
- ½ tsp black pepper
- 1 tbsp vegetable oil
Instructions
Step 1: Preheat the Oven
- Set your oven to 375°F (190°C) to get it ready.
Step 2: Prepare the Kofta
- In a large bowl, mix together the grated onion, plant-based mince (or ground lamb), breadcrumbs, garlic, and coriander until well combined.
- Shape the mixture into patties and place them in an oven-safe casserole dish.
- Bake for 20 minutes.
Step 3: Roast the Potatoes
- Toss the sliced potatoes with salt and oil.
- Spread them on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Bake for 30 minutes, flipping halfway.
Step 4: Layer the Ingredients
- Arrange the baked kofta patties, roasted potatoes, sliced onions, tomatoes, and bell peppers in a circular or linear pattern, depending on the shape of your baking tray.
Step 5: Make the Sauce
- In a bowl, mix the tomato paste with vegetable broth, crushed garlic and pomegranate molasses.
- Add salt and pepper, stirring until smooth.
- Pour the sauce over the casserole, making sure everything is evenly coated.
Step 6: Bake Everything Together
- Cover the dish with foil and bake for 45-50 minutes.
- Remove the foil for the last 10 minutes to allow the top to caramelize slightly.
Step 7: Serve and Enjoy!
- Serve warm with fluffy rice or fresh pita bread.
