Air Fried Kotlet
Ingredients
Patty
- 3-4 large potatoes (approx. 300g), boiled & peeled
- 500 g minced beef, preferably lean
- 1 large onion, finely grated
- 2 eggs
- 1 ½ tsp salt
- 1 tsp black pepper, freshly ground
- 1 tsp turmeric powder
- 1 tsp paprika powder
- a pinch saffron, finely grounded
Sandwich
- brown pita bread
- ½ cup arugula salad
- fresh herbs (a handful of basil leaves, mint leaves)
- 2 tomatoes, thinly sliced
- 1 small onion, thinly sliced
- ¼ cup pickled gherkins, thinly sliced
- ¼ cup labneh
Instructions
- Finely grate the onion and green capsicum. Using a sieve, press to drain excess water.
- In a food processor, combine the grated onion, capsicum, boiled potatoes, minced beef, eggs, salt, pepper, turmeric, paprika, and saffron. Pulse until the mixture is well combined but retains some texture.
- Shape the mixture into small golf ball-sized portions, then flatten slightly to form oval patties.
- Preheat the air fryer to 200°C (392°F). Line the air fryer basket with parchment paper to prevent sticking. Place the kotlet patties in the air fryer and cook for 12-15 minutes, until golden and cooked through.
- Lay out a piece of brown pita bread. Spread a thin layer of labneh down the centre, place a kotlet patty, and top with baby arugula, basil, mint, tomato slices, onion, and pickled gherkins. Fold and roll tightly to enclose the filling.
- Serve.
