MEMORIES OF MACEDONIA ~ PEČENI KOFTINJA i KOMPIRI MANDZA (Meat Kofte and Potato Casserole)

Koftinja, or Kofte, are very popular in Macedonia. They appear in many recipes from being grilled to soups. In this version, they are baked in the oven with potatoes and veggies in a simple sauce. The outcome is a flavour extravaganza with everything you need in one dish. Don't forget to bring lots of crusty bread to the table to mop up all that wonderful juice!
