Beef kofta with couscous and garlic yogurt

Tip: tap a step to mark it as done.

1. Make the mixture

   15 min

   Combine the beef with the grated onion, pressed garlic, parsley, cumin, paprika, and salt, and knead thoroughly. With damp hands, shape into 12 oblong kofta.

2. Pan-fry the kofta

   10 min

   Heat the oil in a skillet. Add the kofta and cook for 8–10 minutes, turning to brown all sides, until cooked through.

3. Prepare the couscous

   5 min

   Pour the hot broth over the couscous, cover, and let stand for 5 minutes to absorb the liquid. Fluff with a fork.

4. Make the sauce and serve

   Mix the yogurt with the pressed garlic and salt. Serve the kofta over the couscous with the yogurt sauce.

Tip: Knead the meat mixture thoroughly so the proteins bind together and the kofta hold their shape during frying, even without an egg or bread roll.
