TURKISH KOFTA RECIPE



Turkish Kofta Recipe image

Kofta or "Kofte" is a popular meatball type of dish in Turkey and the middle east. We have many kofta recipes and kebabs in Turkish cuisine. I will make a kofta recipe, the way we make it at home, easily using a food processor in this episode. The great thing is you can freeze and cook whenever you want to have a ready meal

Provided by Ayşenur Altan

Categories     Main Course

Number Of Ingredients 8

500 gr. ground meat (you can use 30% lamb if you like and preferably at least 20% fat)
2 medium-size onions
4 tbsp ground stale bread/bread crumbs
handful parsley (optional)
1 tsp each black pepper, salt, paprika
1/4 tsp baking soda (optional - you can add 3-4 drops of lemon juice over the baking soda before you add it.)
6-8 green sweet peppers
3 tbsp olive oil to brush the griddle or pan

Steps:

  • Traditionally we make the kofte mixture by hand by grating the onions, chopping fresh herbs if used, and mixing the other ingredients in a bowl well. But you can easily do these steps in a food processor. If your food processor isn't so big you can only chop the onion and parsley and continue mixing in a bowl
  • In a food processor add onion cut in four, parsley. If you are using stale bread soak it in water to soften then squeeze out excess water and add to the onion parsley mixture. Process until they have fine pieces, avoid over-processing, and don't make it like a puré.
  • Add the ground meat, spices, and baking soda if using. Drop 3-4 drops of lemon juice over the baking soda and mix everything by pulsing until is it evenly incorporated.
  • Dip your hand into the water from time to time and get smaller than mandarine size mixture and first shape into a ball and press it to make a disk. It comes together when cooks and becomes thicker so consider that while shaping.
  • Heat the cast iron griddle or non-stick frying pan or grill. Brush it with vegetable oil. Add kofte pieces leaving space between them and cook on medium heat until both sides and inside are fully cooked.
  • Meanwhile cut the tomatoes in big wedges and cook on the griddle or grill with green peppers.
  • Serve the koftes with pilav and grilled veggies. You can also make coban salad, or cacik (yogurt-cucumber sauce) to serve.

TURKISH MEATBALLS (KOFTA)



Turkish Meatballs (Kofta) image

These are the well-known Turkish Kofta, delicious little meat balls or patties. You can make them with beef, but lamb is traditional and makes them very special.

Provided by Jenny Sanders

Categories     Lamb/Sheep

Time 35m

Yield 36 meatballs, 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 cup fine fresh breadcrumb
1 lb lean ground lamb
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon allspice
1 teaspoon dried mint
2 cloves garlic
2 tablespoons parsley
1 egg
1 tablespoon olive oil

Steps:

  • Make the bread crumbs by breaking up 2 slices of stale but not dried out whole wheat bread into the bowl of a food processor.
  • Whizz until finely crumbed.
  • Add the ground lamb and the egg, and process until blended.
  • Add the spices, garlic and parsley.
  • Process the meat well to achieve a fine texture.
  • Roll the mixture into small meatballs (I use a melonballer) or finger shaped patties using dampened hands.
  • You may cook them at once, or refrigerate the mixture for several hours.
  • (If your meat is very fresh, you can divide it in half and wrap part well in plastic for the next day's meal.) Heat the oil in a heavy skillet, and fry the balls or patties until cooked through and evenly browned.
  • The meatballs should be stirred several times, the patties turned once.
  • Remove them with a slotted spoon to drain.
  • Serve the meatballs hot or at room temperature as an appetizer.
  • Lovely with a yogurt or tahini sauce, on a bed of rice or in a pita.

TURKEY KOFTA KABOBS



Turkey Kofta Kabobs image

My Persian neighbor introduced me to kofta about 20 years ago. His were made of beef and I never actually got his recipe but I'm pretty good at replicating flavors and these came pretty close...and of course using turkey instead of beef makes these a lot lighter.
