How to Make Bacon Koftas
- Preheat your grill or large skillet to medium-high heat.
- In a food processor, combine 4 slices (about 100g) of cooked bacon, crumbled; 1/2 cup (60g) breadcrumbs; 2 spring onions, finely chopped; 1/4 cup (15g) chopped fresh parsley; 1 teaspoon lemon zest; 1 egg white; and a pinch of freshly ground black pepper.
- Process until the mixture is finely chopped and well combined, scraping down the sides as needed. The mixture should hold together when squeezed.
- Soak 8 bamboo skewers in water for at least 30 minutes.
- Divide the mixture into 8 equal portions. Shape each portion around a soaked bamboo skewer into a long oval kofta.
- Sprinkle the koftas generously with paprika.
- Grill the koftas for 8-10 minutes, turning occasionally, until browned and cooked through. Alternatively, pan-fry in a little oil for 5-7 minutes per side, until cooked through.
- Serve immediately and enjoy! These koftas are delicious on their own or with your favorite dipping sauce.
