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

    Cup of Yum
  1. Add your minced meat to a large bowl, along with the grated onion.
  2. Now add the parsley, cumin, chilli flakes, oregano, salt & pepper.
  3. Get your hands in there and knead for around 10 minutes.
  4. Now add the yoghurt, semolina & baking soda and mix it all together.
  5. Once you're happy it's all mixed well, take small golf ball-sized pieces and mould into oblong shapes.
  6. If possible, leave to chill in the fridge for an hour or so before cooking.
  7. 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.
  8. 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.
