- Soak eight wooden skewers in water for 20 minutes, to stop them burning.
- Using your hands, mix the meat in a bowl with the onion, coriander, mint and plenty of seasoning. Shape into 8 sausages, about 10cm long, then thread a bamboo skewer through the centre of each.
- To make the sauce, heat the oil in a pan, add the garlic and briefly fry. Add tomatoes, harissa, sugar and seasoning. Simmer, uncovered, for 15-20 mins until sauce has thickened.
- Grill the kofte for 6-8 mins, turning until they are nicely browned (be careful not to burn the skewers). Spoon the sauce over a warm platter, drizzle over the yogurt and put the kofte on top. Scatter with pine nuts and serve with pittas or couscous (recipe, below).
Seven-minute couscous
Tip 200g couscous into a bowl and stir in 2 tsp stock powder. Pour on 300ml boiling water, cover and leave for 4 mins until the water is absorbed. Fluff up with a fork, then add juice 1 lemon, bunch chopped coriander and a drizzle olive oil.
Get ahead
The uncooked kofte will keep in the fridge alongside the tomato sauce for 24 hours.
