Description

Kofte, the term used for meatballs in Turkey, is one of the basic dishes in Turkish cuisine.

I usually prepare it in large amounts and put them in the freezer, so I always have something to cook in case of an emergency.

Ingredients

Servings

2 pounds Ground Beef (% 85 Lean)
1 Yellow onion (Finely Grated)
1 cups Bread crumbs
2 cloves Garlic (Mashed)
¹⁄₂ tablespoons Cumin
¹⁄₂ tablespoons Black pepper
¹⁄₄ tablespoons Salt
¹⁄₂ cups Parsley (Finely Chopped)

Preparation

Combine all the ingredients in a large bowl.
Knead it with your hands until everything mixes well.

Roll the mixture into balls and flatten them in your palm.
Place them on a baking sheet.

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.

Cook them for about 15-20 minutes flipping after 8-10 minutes or until they browned on both sides.

You can serve them with french fries or pilaf ( Turkish rice).

Bon Appetit!
