Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 200 °C (400 °F). Finely chop the onion and parsley, then mix them with the meat, cumin, cinnamon, pepper and salt.
  2. Knead the mixture for a few minutes until smooth, then shape into small balls or elongated patties.
  3. Peel the potatoes and cut them into wedges. Arrange them in a baking dish with a drizzle of olive oil and salt.
  4. In a bowl, dissolve the tomato paste in the stock, then add the tomatoes cut into small cubes.
  5. Place the kaftas on the potatoes, then pour the tomato sauce over everything.
  6. Bake for 45 minutes, until the potatoes are tender and the meat is well cooked.
  7. Let rest for 5 minutes before serving straight from the dish, sprinkled with fresh parsley.

Variations and tips

Mild spice version. Add a pinch of cinnamon to the tomato sauce for a more fragrant taste.
