Instructions
- 1
Rest the bulgur and semolina with warm water for 18 minutes.
18 min18:00 - 2
Finely chop the onion and soften it in butter for 6 minutes.
6 min06:00 - 3
Add the ground beef to the onion and saute for 10 minutes with black pepper, basil, and half of the salt.
10 min10:00 - 4
Stir the parsley into the filling and let it cool for 10 minutes.
10 min10:00 - 5
Add the flour and remaining salt to the rested bulgur and knead for 10 minutes, until paste-like.
10 min10:00 - 6
Take walnut size pieces of dough, open them in your palm, fill with the beef mixture, and close.
- 7
Cook the koftes in a wide pot of boiling salted water for 16 minutes.
16 min16:00 - 8
Mix the yogurt and crushed garlic, then plate the hot koftes with cooking water and serve with garlic yogurt.
💡 Tip: If the outer dough cracks in your palm, add warm water little by little; fine koftelik bulgur binds far better than coarse pilaf bulgur.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve the koftes in a deep plate with hot cooking water, garlic yogurt, and ayran if desired for a winter table.
