Method
- 1
Mix the beef mince, grated onion and ground cumin in a bowl and season well.

Divide into 8 portions; flatten each in your palm, place a small cube of the cheddar cheese in the centre, and fold the meat around it to seal the cheese in completely.
- 3
Heat the olive oil in a frying pan and fry the köfte for 4-5 minutes each side until browned and cooked through with no pink remaining.
- 4
Pour the tinned chopped tomatoes into the pan around the köfte and simmer for 8 minutes.
- 5
Scatter with flat-leaf parsley and serve.
