Ingredients
Preparation method
Prepare the köfte mixture
Grate or very finely chop the onion and garlic cloves, and finely chop the parsley. Place the minced beef into a large bowl and mix with the grated onion, garlic, parsley, breadcrumbs, egg, as well as ground cumin, paprika powder, chili flakes, 1 tsp fine table salt, and 1 tsp black pepper.
Knead the minced meat mixture vigorously with your hands for at least 5 minutes until a homogeneous, smooth, and cohesive mixture forms. Then cover and let rest in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes to allow the flavors to blend optimally.
Fill and fry
Divide the mixture into 8 equal portions. Roll each portion into a ball, flatten it in the palm of your hand, and place a generous portion of grated cheese in the center. Carefully seal the minced meat around the cheese and shape into oval köfte – make sure there are no cracks so that the cheese does not leak out during frying.
Chef's tip
Vigorous kneading is the secret to perfect Turkish köfte: the warmth of your hands binds the meat protein optimally, keeping the köfte elastic during frying and sealing in the molten cheese filling perfectly.
For an even more authentic street food experience, you can serve them with a quick sumac onion salad and creamy garlic yogurt.
