4 servings
For the kofta
- 1 lb ground beef (80/20)
- 1 tbsp fresh ginger, finely grated
- 1 tsp ground turmeric
- 1 tsp ground cumin
- ½ tsp ground coriander
- ¾ tsp salt
- 3 tbsp fresh cilantro, finely chopped
- 2 tbsp fresh parsley, finely chopped
- 1 tbsp olive oil
For the herb drizzle
- ¼ cup fresh ricotta
Ingredient noteFull-fat dairy is limited on an anti-inflammatory diet because its saturated fat can be pro-inflammatory for some people, but the amount of ricotta cheese used here (~1 tbsp per serving) is likely fine. If you prefer to always avoid ricotta cheese, please tap it and change its rating to Red.
- 2 tbsp fresh parsley, finely chopped
- 1 tbsp fresh mint, finely chopped
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
- ¼ tsp salt
For serving
- 1 head romaine lettuce, leaves separated and trimmed into cups
- 2 tbsp fresh cilantro leaves (optional)
Instructions
- 1
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, grated ginger, turmeric, cumin, coriander, salt, cilantro, and parsley. Mix with your hands until the spices and herbs are evenly distributed throughout the meat, about 1 minute — do not overwork.

Divide the mixture into 16 equal portions (about 1 oz each) and roll each into a compact oval or round bite, roughly 1½ inches across. Set aside on a plate.
