Yum! We had the Kofte tonight and it came out just the way I had hoped. I made some minor changes to the recipe (of course!) I added garlic to the yogurt sauce and I made this more authentic Muhammara sauce, one with walnuts and bread crumbs but I left the cumin out based on a review of my Middle Eastern cookbooks, which have more authentic (and complicated) recipes and I used panko breadcrumbs - not sure the authentic recipes would include japanese breadcurmbs but, it worked! : -). I opened a bottle of Chateau Musar which is one of the premier wines of Lebanon and I hoped it would compliment the lamb. The first bottled I opened had a damaged cork (wine had actually leaking out around the cork) so, I had to throw it away (I admit, I thought about drinking it anyway because it smelled great!) I opened my last bottle of Musar and I thought it was quite tasty but, Jim really didn’t like it at all, actually, he didn’t like Chateau Musar the first time we tried it but, I didn’t tell him that until after we tried this bottle. He thought it was too musty - so much for aged wine!!! I drank part of his glass too :-). Ahhhh! Happy mouth!
