- pine nuts optional garnish, additional chopped parsley and/or 1-2 Tablespoons toasted pine nuts

- ½ cup parsley fresh leaves

- 1 cups yogurt
- 1 cup tahini
- lemon juice from large
- 1 cup water

Instructions
- Combine the Kufta seasoning ingredients in a food processor and process until finely minced. It will look surprisingly like meat when done.
- Put the seasoning mixture into a 9 by 13 inch baking pan. Add the ground beef and mix by hand to combine, right in the dish. Don't overwork.
- Press the Kufta into a flat, uniform layer in the baking pan. Make depressions in the Kufta mixture with your fingers.
- Put the baking pan into the preheated oven for about 7 minutes while you make the sauce. This will allow the meat to set slightly. Do not leave it in longer or the meat will be overcooked in the end.
- In a blender or food processor, combine the sauce ingredients and blend until smooth.
- Remove the pan from the oven. Top with sliced potatoes. Pour sauce over evenly to cover.
- Bake at 400 degrees F for about 40 minutes until the meat is cooked through and the sauce is bubbling and lightly browned.
- Serve warm, optionally with rice.
