Time 35m

Yield 36 meatballs, 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 cup fine fresh breadcrumb
1 lb lean ground lamb
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon allspice
1 teaspoon dried mint
2 cloves garlic
2 tablespoons parsley
1 egg
1 tablespoon olive oil

Steps:

  • Make the bread crumbs by breaking up 2 slices of stale but not dried out whole wheat bread into the bowl of a food processor.
  • Whizz until finely crumbed.
  • Add the ground lamb and the egg, and process until blended.
  • Add the spices, garlic and parsley.
  • Process the meat well to achieve a fine texture.
  • Roll the mixture into small meatballs (I use a melonballer) or finger shaped patties using dampened hands.
  • You may cook them at once, or refrigerate the mixture for several hours.
  • (If your meat is very fresh, you can divide it in half and wrap part well in plastic for the next day's meal.) Heat the oil in a heavy skillet, and fry the balls or patties until cooked through and evenly browned.
  • The meatballs should be stirred several times, the patties turned once.
  • Remove them with a slotted spoon to drain.
  • Serve the meatballs hot or at room temperature as an appetizer.
  • Lovely with a yogurt or tahini sauce, on a bed of rice or in a pita.

KADIN BUDDU KOFTA (TURKISH MEATBALLS)



Kadin Buddu Kofta (Turkish Meatballs) image

Simple, but very tasty! One of my favorite Turkish foods. Literally, kadin buddu means 'ladies' thighs.' Coated in egg and then fried, Turkish koftas come in all shapes, sizes, and degrees of spiciness. You can do a lot with them. Serve with breads, rice, sauces, gravies, salads, and onion rings, or serve them as-is for an appetizer or snack.

Tips:

  • For the best flavor, use fresh, high-quality ingredients.
  • Don't overmix the meatball mixture; this will make the meatballs tough.
  • Be gentle when forming the meatballs; if you handle them too roughly, they will fall apart.
  • Use a large skillet to cook the meatballs so that they have plenty of room to brown.
  • Don't overcrowd the skillet; this will prevent the meatballs from cooking evenly.
  • Cook the meatballs over medium heat so that they have time to cook through without burning.
  • Serve the meatballs hot with your favorite sauce.
