Time: 35 min
Servings: 4

INGREDIENTS
For the Kafta
1 kg Beef, minced
2-3 tbsp A Spice Affair's Kafta Seasoning
2 tbsp A Spice Affair's Parsley Flakes
1-2 tbsp Olive oil

For the Sauce
6 tbsp Tahini
375g Greek Yogurt
Juice of 2 Lemons
1 tsp Himalayan Pink Salt

A Spice Affair's Sumac, for garnish
A Spice Affair's Parsley Flakes, for garnish

PREPARATION

1. Preheat oven to 400ºF
2. Mix the Kafta ingredients in a bowl with the help of your hands, ensuring the seasoning is evenly spread. Once thoroughly combined, spread the Kafta in a baking tray about 1.5 cm thick; pressing it flat with the help of your hands.
3. Bake the Kafta for 20 min
4. Meanwhile, mix tahini sauce ingredients together until homogenous
5. Add the sauce over the Kafta in the baking tray. Carefully mix the tahini sauce with the grease from the beef until well combined
6. Place the baking tray back in the oven and cook for 5-10 more minutes, or until the sauce starts to lightly create bubbles (do not overcook).
7. Remove from oven and let cool down for a couple of minutes so the sauce thickens
8. Garnish with A Spice Affair's Sumac and Parsley Flakes. Serve with pita bread and enjoy!
