Knuspr-Küche
Traditionelle türkische Akçaabat Köfte von der Schwarzmeerküste: Saftige Rinder-Patties mit viel frischem Knoblauch, serviert mit gegrillter Spitzpaprika, Tomaten, roten Sumach-Zwiebeln und warmem Fladenbrot.
Preparation method
Prepare & shape the köfte mixture
Peel the garlic cloves and grate very finely or press. Cut the room-temperature butter into small flakes.
In a large bowl, combine the minced beef with the grated garlic, breadcrumbs, butter flakes, 1 tsp fine table salt, and 1 tsp ground black pepper. Knead the mixture vigorously for at least 5 to 7 minutes until a homogeneous, smooth binding is achieved.
With moist hands, shape the meat mixture into about 8 to 10 flat, round patties (typical Akçaabat shape, approx. 1.5 cm thick). Allow the shaped köfte to rest for at least 10 minutes.
Chef's tip
The secret of authentic Akçaabat köfte lies in thorough kneading and a subtle hint of garlic without heavy spices such as cumin. This keeps the pure beef flavor wonderfully prominent.
Typically for Trabzon, it is served with a cold glass of ayran or a creamy yoghurt dip.
