Sneaky Liver Kofta
I know liver can look a little scary & their flavour/texture can be something you have to get your head around but I promise you that it's so worth it. Just 1 serving of liver actually provides your entire daily requirement of vitamins A, B12 & B9 (folate), iron, zinc, & copper with therapeutically relevant amounts of Vitamin D. They’re also super cheap & prevent food waste so who’s coming round to the idea of joining me on my offal adventures.
Key Facts
- High in vitamins A, B12 & B9
- Nutrient dense
- Gluten free
- High in iron, zinc, & copper
Ingredients
- 1 large red onion
- 1 large carrot
- 2-3 garlic cloves
- 150g parsley
- 200g each lambs liver, lamb mince & beef mince (I get mine from Swaledale Butchers)
- 1 tablespoon garam masala
- 2 teaspoons smoked paprika
- 1 tablespoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 6-8 grinds of fresh black pepper
- 1-2 teaspoons chilli flakes
Preparation
01
Use a food processor or box grater to grate your onion & carrots, if you prefer to finely dice by hand that is fine too.
02
Then roughly chop the garlic & add to a food processor with the blending blade attachment & pulse until you have a fine paste.
03
Add the parsley & incorporate this too.
04
Trim any sinew from the liver. Add to to the food processor & blitz everything together.
05
Decant your blended mix to a large bowl, add the mince & seasonings then use your hands to combine fully.
06
Preheat your oven to 200°C & line a tray with a silicone mat or parchment paper.
07
Mould your mix into kofta & pop into a hot, dry frying pan for 1 minute, there is no need to add oil as there is plenty of naturally occurring fat in the lamb mince.
They will caramelise & seal so you can then turn them & seal on each side before transferring to the tray & repeating with the rest of the mix.
08
Once they’re all done pop into the oven for 7-8 minute to cook through then serve straight away or cool, pop in the fridge & use within a week.
