29 Mar Vegan + Gluten Free Spiced Koftas

These koftas have a delicious meaty flavour and texture, thanks to the addition of Cheesy Chilli Tahini Meal Topper. The topper is blended into a veggie-based kofta mix, lending its smokey, savoury flavours and meaty textures. The topper also helps the mixture to bind, thanks to its oaty clusters. Serve these morsels on top of a nice big salad, inside pita pockets or sandwiched between burger buns.
