Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 220°C
  2. Chop tomatoes in half, then cut 4 wedges from each half. Place on a baking tray, drizzle with olive oil, and season with salt. Blast in the oven for 15 minutes or until collapsed and starting to char around the edges. Remove and keep warm.
  3. Prepare Kofta: Add a splash of hot water to the breadcrumbs to soften.  Next, using a box grater, grate onions on the large setting. Squeeze out excess liquid. Place onions and breadcrumbs a bowl along with minced meat, garlic, green chilli and spices. Gently combine, divide into 4 and form into oval-shaped balls.
  4. Heat a frying pan with a good splash of oil. Fry koftas over medium heat, turning to brown on all sides, then halfway through squash them down to flatten to half the thickens. Remove koftas from pan and transfer to the oven to keep warm (no higher than 100 degrees).
  5. To make the chilli oil. Whilst the frying pan is still hot, retain the leftover oil from frying koftas and add chilli oil ingredients. Swirl around and combine until just heating up, then pour into a small bowl. This will be your chilli oil to pour over eggs when plating up.
  6. Prepare poached eggs: Crack eggs into individual ramekins or small bowls, this makes it easier to slide into the boiling water. Bring a pan of water to simmer. Stir the water to create a whirlpool to help the egg white wrap around the yolk.
  7. When the whirlpool has slowed down, quickly tip the eggs into the center. The water should still be on simmer so it doesn’t break the egg apart.
  8. Cook for 2 minutes or until the white is set. Lift the eggs out with a slotted spoon and drain it on kitchen paper. Season with salt.
  9. Assemble plate. Divide Charred Green Feta sauce into bowls and spread along the base. Top with koftas, roasted tomatoes, poached eggs, drizzle with reserved pan oil and garnish with dill and coriander.
