Bacon and Sausage Koftas

This makes a nice change to the traditional chipolatas wrapped in bacon, to accompany the christmas turkey. In this recipe I have included some chopped coriander and spices, to accompany the Roast Saffron Turkey but if you are preparing a more traditional roast simply leave these out and add some sage or chopped parsley instead.

Ingredients

Bacon and Sausage Koftas

600g good quality sausage meat

3 tbsp chopped coriander
1 tsp ground cumin
1 tsp ground ginger
zest 1/4 lemon
pinch paprika
maldon salt and freshly ground black pepper
12 rashers of rindless streaky bacon

You will need

12 skewers, soaked in water for 30 minutes

Method

Koftas: Place the sausage meat in a bowl with the garlic, coriander, cumin, ginger, lemon zest, paprika and a little seasoning, and mix until well combined.
Shape the mixture into 12 sausage shaped rolls, place on the skewers, wrap in the bacon and lay out on a lightly oiled tray. Cover and refrigerate until ready to cook (koftas can be prepared a day in advance).
To Cook: Place the koftas under a hot grill for 5 minutes on each side until cooked through. Alternatively you can place them on a moderate-high barbecue or in the oven with the turkey for 40 minutes turning after 20 minutes.
