Indulge in air-fried lamb kofta bombs, bursting with spices and paired with creamy tahini yogurt sauce. Perfect for any comfort food craving!
Ingredients
- • Ground lamb: 1 pound
- • Onion, finely chopped: 1 medium
- • Garlic cloves, minced: 3
- • Fresh parsley, chopped: 1/4 cup
- • Ground cumin: 1 teaspoon
- • Smoked paprika: 1 teaspoon
- • Ground coriander: 1/2 teaspoon
- • Salt: 1 teaspoon
- • Black pepper: 1/2 teaspoon
- • Allspice: 1/2 teaspoon
- • Olive oil: 2 tablespoons
- • Panko breadcrumbs: 1/4 cup
- • Tahini: 1/4 cup
- • Greek yogurt: 1/2 cup
- • Lemon juice: 2 tablespoons
- • Fresh mint, chopped: 2 tablespoons
- • Water: 2 tablespoons
Instructions
- 1 Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C).
- 2 In a large bowl, combine the ground lamb, onion, garlic, parsley, cumin, smoked paprika, coriander, salt, black pepper, allspice, olive oil, and panko breadcrumbs. Mix until all ingredients are well incorporated.
- 3 Shape the lamb mixture into small meatballs, about the size of a golf ball. Make sure they are tightly packed to hold their shape during cooking.
- 4 Place the lamb kofta balls in the air fryer basket in a single layer, without overcrowding. Cook for 12-15 minutes, or until the kofta is golden brown and cooked through, shaking the basket halfway to ensure even cooking.
- 5 While the kofta is cooking, prepare the tahini yogurt sauce. In a small bowl, whisk together the tahini, Greek yogurt, lemon juice, mint, and water until smooth and creamy.
- 6 Once the kofta is done, remove them from the air fryer and let them rest for a few minutes. Serve warm with the tahini yogurt sauce for dipping.
Serving Suggestions
- • These Air-Fried Lamb Kofta Bombs pair beautifully with warm pita bread and a crisp cucumber-tomato salad for a complete meal. Garnish with additional chopped parsley and a sprinkle of sesame seeds for added flair. For a drink pairing, consider a chilled glass of mint-infused iced tea or a light, citrusy white wine to complement the rich flavors of the lamb.
Storage Tips
Store any leftover kofta in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place them back in the air fryer at 350°F (175°C) for 5-7 minutes until warmed through and crispy. The tahini yogurt sauce can be stored separately in the refrigerator for up to 3 days as well.
