Mini kofta bites with zesty pea and mint hummus
Lebanese 20 Mins Prep · 15 Mins Cook
- Bring a pot of water to a boil. Add the peas and boil for 5 minutes. Strain immediately and rinse with ice-cold water.
- In a blender, add ¾ of the blanched peas, 30g mint leaves, parsley, garlic, lemon and hummus. Blend until as smooth as you prefer, we opted for a chunkier hummus. Season to taste. Set aside.
- To make the mini kofta bites, divide each kofta in half and reshape. You may want to wear gloves. In a large non-stick frying pan, heat the olive oil then fry the mini kofta until golden, gently shaking the pan every few minutes.
- When ready to serve, spread the pea hummus on a serving plate or spoon into a large shallow bowl. Top with the mini kofta bites. Scatter over with remaining blanched peas, mint and drizzle over the olive oil.
- Grill the pita and serve alonside the mini kofta bites.
