#10DaysofTailgate: Spiced Kofta with Carrot Karma Yogurt Dip

Because we were getting some much needed rain, my plans to have Jake grill these were foiled. Instead of grilling, I ended up baking them in the oven. They were delicious just the same.

Ingredients

For the Kofta:

• 1 lb 96/4 organic, grassfed ground beef
• 1 T parsley, finely chopped (I used some prepped herbs from Gourmet Garden Herbs & Spices*)
• 1 T cilantro, finely chopped
• 1 T basil, finely chopped
• 1 t oregano, finely chopped
• 1 onion, peeled and finely diced
• 1 t ground cinnamon
• 1 t ground coriander
• 1 t ground cumin
• freshly ground sea salt
• freshly ground pepper
• Carrot Karma Hot Sauce by Intensity Academy* for brushing

For the Yogurt Dip:

• 1 C plain whole milk yogurt
• 1 T garlic
• 1 T herbs
• 1 T Carrot Karma Hot Sauce by Intensity Academy*

Procedure

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.

Mix all of the ingredients together in a large mixing bowl. Knead until all the herbs and spices are evenly distributed. Roll the meat into finger-sized rolls. Place the rolls on a parchment-lined baking sheet.

Roast the kofta for 20 minutes. Brush the kofta with Carrot Karma and return to the oven for another 20 minutes.

While the kofta cooks, whisk together the yogurt dip. Let the kofta cool for 5 minutes before serving.

Here's what the rest of the crew brought to the table...
