Kifta and Potatoes with Tahini Sauce

Step 1
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).

Step 2
Combine lamb, onion, parsley, salt, allspice, and pepper in a large bowl. Roll meat into 2 1/2-inch long pieces and arrange in a baking pan.

Step 3
Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes.

Step 4
While meat is cooking, heat vegetable oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Add potatoes; fry until lightly golden, about 5 minutes. Set aside on paper towels to drain excess oil. Sprinkle with salt.

Step 5
Remove lamb from the oven; drain and discard any fat from meat. Leave oven on.

Step 6
Combine garlic, lemon juice, water, tahini, salt, and pepper in a food processor until smooth. Set tahini sauce aside.

Step 7
Arrange potatoes on top of lamb in the baking dish and pour tahini sauce on top. Drizzle with olive oil. Return the baking pan to the oven.

Step 8
Bake in the preheated oven until lamb is no longer pink and an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center reads at least 150 degrees F (65 degrees C), about 30 minutes more.
