Goat kofte

First recipe for goatober 2020!

I like to pair my goat with spices as they work so well together. The spices in this kofte recipe have elements that bring out a sweetness in the meat and lift the dish.

500g goat fillet finely minced
2g cinnamon
5g cumin seeds

2g turmeric

2g coriander seeds

5g smoked hot paprika flakes

5g paprika
2g ginger powder

30g onion grated

2 cloves garlic grated

10g pork or lamb fat

3g celery salt

Pepper to taste

Mix all the ingredients together, and leave for a few hours or preferably overnight to allow the flavours to come together

Before cooking fry off a small piece to check the seasoning, if it needs more salt then add some
If using wooden skewers, make sure to soak them for a few hours in water before you put them on the BBQ, otherwise they will burn

To make the koftes, make sure your hands are cold, it makes it easier to form the shapes on the skewer

Take a small amount of the mix, form a ball and then put a skewer through the ball and then start to form a sausage shape around the skewer, it takes a bit of practice to get it right

Once you've made the koftes, place back in the fridge for a couple of hours to allow them to firm up

Set your barbecue up for indirect grilling at 200c

Cook for 2 minutes each side getting a nice char on the koftes
