Proudly supported by

This is great for autumnal evenings. The lamb kofta meatballs are full of flavour, and the chickpeas and cauliflower give the dish a great texture.

Ingredients

FOR THE SAUCE

2 tsp olive oil

1 small onion, chopped

1 garlic clove, chopped

400g can chopped tomatoes

2 tsp tomato purée

500ml/18fl oz hot lamb stock

1/2 small cauliflower, broken into small florets

1/2 x 400g can chickpeas (save the rest for the kofta balls)

1/2 bunch coriander, leaves only, to serve

FOR THE KOFTA BALLS

250g/9oz minced lamb

1 small onion, finely chopped

small pack coriander, finely chopped

1/2 tsp ground cumin

1/2 tsp smoked paprika

1/2 x 400g can chickpeas, drained and crushed

Method

  1. First, make the sauce. Heat the oil in a large pan over a medium heat and fry the onion for around 10 mins until starting to soften and caramelise. Stir in the garlic and cook for about 1 min, then add the tomatoes and tomato purée and stir again. Season well and pour in 400ml of the stock. Cover and bring to the boil, then simmer over a very low heat while you make the kofta balls.

  2. Add all the ingredients for the kofta balls to a large mixing bowl, and mix with your hands until all the ingredients are combined. Spoon out golf ball-sized pieces of the mixture, and roll into balls using your hands.

  3.  Give the sauce a good stir. Drop the kofta balls on top, then add the cauliflower florets and the rest of the chickpeas, pushing them just under the liquid. Simmer for 25-30 mins or until the kofta balls are tender, adding  the remaining 100ml of stock, if necessary. Scatter over the coriander and serve.
