Directions
Chef Flower’s Turkish Cypriot Fried Meatballs – Kibrisli Kofte /, Kofte’s is a meatball which is native to Cyprus, Turkey and some middle east regions They came in all shapes, sizes and different flavours This recipe is my mothers recipe, she normally uses beef but since I don’t eat beef she use chicken if I’m coming over We serve them with Recipe #36126 (We make the exact recipe) and a green salad or parsley salad The cinnamon, mint, salt and black pepper are not the exact measurements as mum uses her hand to measure anything, feel free to add more but only to your taste , The taste is quite good I added ingredients to taste, not measure I found the texture a little odd as it had pretty long thin flecks of potato in it that you could see It would probably be better to use a juicer as someone mentioned and use the potato pulp from that used regular ground beef as for us I know we prefer it I did use the egg (mainly yolk), fresh mint instead of dried, sea salt, canola oil and some extra virgin olive oil to shallow fry in order to be soy free, plus the rest of the ingredients Served with recipe#36126 as mentioned in the introduction, plus a fresh chopped salad with home made pomegranate molasses dressing & buttered Basmati rice with pine nuts , The taste is quite good I added ingredients to taste, not measure I found the texture a little odd as it had pretty long thin flecks of potato in it that you could see It would probably be better to use a juicer as someone mentioned and use the potato pulp from that used regular ground beef as for us I know we prefer it I did use the egg (mainly yolk), fresh mint instead of dried, sea salt, canola oil and some extra virgin olive oil to shallow fry in order to be soy free, plus the rest of the ingredients Served with recipe#36126 as mentioned in the introduction, plus a fresh chopped salad with home made pomegranate molasses dressing & buttered Basmati rice with pine nuts
