Kofta - (Lambless)

Kofta - (Lambless)

We’ve arrived at “K”  in our Vegetarian Alphabet for fun gig. So Koftas seemed like fun. This is a totally made up recipe, but all recipes were made up by somebody at one time or another.

Ingredients:-

100g of Mung Beans
100g of Brown Lentils
Gram Flour
Dried Parsley
1 medium Onion, finely chopped
Ground Coriander
Cumin
Chilli powder
Garam Masala
2 cloves of Garlic, grated
Dried Ginger
Salt & Pepper
Oil to grill
1 tsp of Bicarbonate of Soda

Method:-

(1) Soak the Mung Beans and Lentils overnight
(2) Drain and rinse and boil with the Bicarbonate of Soda for 20 minutes.
(3) Drain again and set aside to cool.
(4) Mix the Gram Flour, Parsley, Onion, Coriander, Cumin, Chilli powder, Garam Masala, Garlic, Dried Ginger and Salt & Pepper in a large bowl.
(5) When the Beans and Lentils have drained and cooled pulse them a couple of times in a blender. You are looking for something slightly lumpy. Not a mush!
(6) Mix everything together and add Gram Flour if required so that you have a consistency which you can form around a skewer.
(7) Form around skewers to make your Koftas about an inch (2.5cm) think.
(8) Grill or Griddle turning regularly until your Koftas browned on all sides and heated through.

We served ours on a bed of boiled Rice with a Yogurt, Mint and Cucumber dip, Plum and Ginger Chutney, plus Coleslaw.

Ray Wings with Lemon & Olives recipe

Ray wings were reduced to £2.38 a few days ago in the local Supermarket. So as we'd enjoyed them last time, Sue decided to combine two recipes and create this.
 
Ingredients:-
 
4 tbsp Oil
2 Ray Wings
Juice of 1 Lemon
8 Green  Olives finely chopped (Steeped in white wine vinegar)
2 tbsp chopped Parsley
150g of Mushrooms finely chopped
1 Onion finely chopped 
25g of Butter or Margarine (A little extra for dotting the fish)
25g Flour (Gluten Free in our case)
100g Crated Cheese (Cheddar)
1/2 Cup of Cider
Milk
Salt to season
 
Method:-
 
(1) Heat the oven to 200c.
(2) Scatter the Mushrooms & Onions on a shallow tray.
(3) Place the Ray wings on top and season.
(4) Dot a few pieces of butter over the fish.
(5) Add a squeeze of Lemon juice.
(6) Pour the cider around the fish and cover with foil.
(7) Cook for 10 minutes. Do not cook the fish completely as you will be grilling it to finish).
(8) Keep the fish warm as you melt the Butter and slowly add the flour to make a roux.
(9) Add the Mushrooms, Onions and cooking juices and whisk until thickened.
(10) Add a little Milk then mix in the grated Cheese and Parsley until combined.
(11) Add the chopped Olives and mix thoroughly.
(12) Place the Ray wings in an oven proof dish and cover with the sauce.
(13) Sprinkle with more grated Cheese.
(14) Place under the grill until the Cheese has melted.
(15) Garnish with either chopped Coriander or Parsley leaves.
 
We served ours with deep fried Potato scallops and a side salad.
