Ingredients
- 300 grams minced beef (medium fat)
- ½ large onion (grated on fine setting)
- 1 handful flat leaf parsley (finely chopped )
- 1 dessert spoon fine semolina
- 2 sachets baking soda (or 2 teaspoons kabartma tozu)
- 1 teaspoon thick natural yoghurt
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 1 teaspoon chilli flakes (optional)
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 pinch salt & pepper
Instructions
- Add your minced meat to a large bowl, along with the grated onion.
- Now add the parsley, cumin, chilli flakes, oregano, salt & pepper.
- Get your hands in there and knead for around 10 minutes.
- Now add the yoghurt, semolina & baking soda and mix it all together.
- Once you're happy it's all mixed well, take small golf ball-sized pieces and mould into oblong shapes.
- If possible, leave to chill in the fridge for an hour or so before cooking.
- For the barbecue, allow the initial fierce heat to die down before grilling for 10-15 minutes (depending on the size of your köfte), turning half way through.
- For the grill, grill on a medium to high heat for 10-15 minutes, turning halfway through.
Notes
- We make each individual Tekirdağ Köftesi quite big so they tend to take around 15 minutes to cook.
- The mixture makes around 16 köfte - obviously, it depends how big you make each köfte.
