["Mix all the Kofta ingredients together in a bowl - cover - and refridgerate while we make the Quinoa Salad", "I make a cup of scarlet quinoa (add 1 cup of dry scarlet quinoa grain to 1 1/4 cup boiling chicken stock) stir in the quinoa - and simmer on low heat for 15 minutes - take off heat and leave covered for 5 minutes - then fluff with a fork. and set aside to cool.", "Mix all the diced vegetables together and the olive oil, salting and peppering to taste.", "I put the BBQ on high heat.
2
Make kafta meatballs with a tablespoon - and then roll your meat balls in olive oil, fresh ground pepper, sesame seed and a little ground sea salt.
3
these will grill very fast on the grille - literally - as you finish setting your meatballs down - immediately start turning them from where you started. MAX 1 minute on each side - then put them on a lightly oiled baking pan - and into the oven for five minutes at 350.", "Mix the veggies and quinoa together. Add the quinoa a little at a time or it is liable to clump up. (not pretty)", "Plate the still sizzling koftas fresh out of the oven on a bed of the scarlet quinoa salad - and garnish with the yogurt/coriander/lemon sauce."]
