Ingredients
Preparation method
Prepare the köfte mixture & let rest
Finely grate the yellow onion and 2 garlic cloves. Finely chop the flat-leaf parsley.
Place the ground beef into a bowl. Add the onion, garlic, half of the parsley, breadcrumbs, cumin, half of the paprika powder, 1/2 tsp chili flakes, 1 tsp salt, and 1/2 tsp pepper. Knead the mixture thoroughly for at least 5 minutes until smooth, pliable, and well bound.
With lightly oiled hands, shape the meat mixture into about 16 finger-length, slightly flattened köfte rolls (the typical Tekirdağ shape) and let rest for about 10 minutes.
Chef's tip
Kneading the meat mixture for several minutes is essential for Tekirdağ köfte: it ensures the characteristic firm yet wonderfully juicy texture when cooked.
If you prefer it even more authentic, serve it with a traditional Turkish piyaz salad made of white beans, red onions, and sumac.
