Köfte Izgara nasıl yapılır

Neden buradan başlamalı

Köfte Izgara is cooked the way Istanbul meyhanes cooks it — salt judged by hand, fat used generously, and the table set for sharing. This is the home version, written down the way a turkish family cook actually puts it on the table.

Köfte Izgara, a staple of Istanbul's meyhanes, captures the essence of the city’s vibrant culinary scene. These establishments, known for their communal spirit, serve up plates of these grilled meatballs that echo the warmth of Turkish gatherings. This recipe brings the meyhane tradition to the home kitchen, where salt is judged by hand and fat is embraced to enhance flavor. The taste is a rich blend of ground beef and lamb, seasoned with cumin and the subtle sweetness of onion. Each bite is tender and juicy, with a hint of smokiness from the grill. Served with pide, these köfte are a celebration of simple yet bold flavors, perfect for sharing and savoring.
