Grilled meatballs (in Turkish ızgara köfte) are undoubtedly one of the most popular street foods in Turkey; a star dish served both at home and at street stalls, made with minced lamb meat and spices.
Ingredients (for 10 persons)
- 1.5 kg. minced lamb meat (low-fat)
- 4 slices of stale bread
- 2 onions (peeled and grated)
- 2 cloves of garlic (crushed)
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 2 dessertspoons salt
Preparation
Soak the slices of stale bread in water. Take them out and squeeze them between your hands to remove excess water. Put them in a bowl; add the other ingredients and knead well. Take pieces of the meat the size of an egg, flatten in the palm of the hand and shape into an oval. Brush the meatballs with olive oil. Grill them. Serve with pieces of grilled tomatoes and peppers.
Afiyet olsun!
