Köfte - türkisches Hackfleisch vom Spieß oder als Bällchen #chefkoch

Today, we are making köfte, the Turkish alternative to German frikadellen. This dish is a great alternative for those who are looking for something different to cook on their grill or in their frying pan. Unlike German frikadellen, köfte is made without bread, and we will be showing you how to prepare it today.

To get the perfect flavor, we will start by making a marinade with oil, cumin, cinnamon, and paprika. We mix these spices together and add them to the meat. For today’s recipe, we will be using lamb shoulder and veal hip. We will grind the meat in a grinder and add the marinade to the meat. If you don’t have a grinder, you can ask your local butcher for ground lamb and veal.

Now that the meat is ready, we can add the other ingredients to it. We will need parsley and mint, which we will finely chop and add to the mixture. We will also add a fresh sprig of oregano and finely chopped red onions. We will then knead everything together to create a nice and tight mixture. This is important for the köfte to bind together without using breadcrumbs or eggs.

To add some flavor to the mixture, we will add a pinch of salt and freshly cracked black pepper. Once everything is combined, we will let it rest in the fridge for an hour or two to allow the flavors to develop.

Now, we can start shaping the mixture into small balls, which we will cook on a grill or in a frying pan. The important thing is not to overheat the pan or grill. We want to cook the köfte on a low heat to make sure it cooks all the way through without burning the outside. We can also skewer the meat and make kebabs.

Köfte is a perfect dish for a summer barbecue or a cozy dinner at home. It’s easy to make, and you can get creative with the shapes and spices you add to the mixture. It’s a great alternative to German frikadellen, and it’s a delicious way to explore new flavors and cuisines. Serve it with a side salad, some pita bread, and a cold beer, and you’re sure to impress your guests.
