					  Place all the ingredients 
					  except the tomato sauce in a food processor. Blend for 
					  about 2 minutes or until evenly mixed - if you don't have 
					  a processor, finely chop the onions, make the bread into 
					  crumbs and mix all the ingredients together in a bowl.
					  Form the mixture into 12 small 
					  sausage shapes. Heat the grill and cook for 12-15 mins, 
					  turning frequently. They should be browned evenly. 
					  For the tomato 
				  and vegetable sauce, heat the oil in a saucepan and fry the 
				  onion for a few minutes. Add the tomatoes, lemon juice, basil 
				  and pepper. Bring to the boil, reduce the heat and simmer 
				  until the sauce thickens slightly.
					  Serve the sauce with the koftas with rice.  |  |
