Spicy bulgur balls with beef tartare
The Turkish ciĝ köfte is a popular kind of köfte, the origin of this meal lies in the southeastern part of Turkey: Urfa. This köfte is prepared with very lean ground beef tartare. Then the minced meat is kneaded with very fine bulgur wheat, a finely grated onion, a tomato, red paprika paste and spices such as cumin, paprika and coriander. This type of köfte is raw and is therefore, usually eaten as an appetizer. This köfte is also worth a try in the late evening drinks!
Time to get started
- Wash the fine bulgur with cold water in a deep bowl and drain.
- Grate the onion and garlic in a deep wide bowl and add the herbs. (isot paprika, cumin, black pepper, coriander)
- Take half of the bulgur and add it, along with 2 ice cubes, to the bowl with spices. Knead the bulgur and herbs well together.
- Then add the tomato paste and the paprika puree together with half of the ground tartare. Knead everything well for 10 minutes. If necessary, you can add 2 more ice cubes.
- Add the remaining Bulgur, tartare, the 3 grated tomatoes and the salt and knead for another 10 minutes into a cohesive ball.
- When everything is kneaded well, mix the sliced spring onion and some chopped parsley through it, without kneading too much.
- Divide the Romaine lettuce leaves on a nice serving dish. With your hands in your fist form elongated balls and place them on these salad leaves.
- Serve with some lemon slices and some sprigs of mint. Delicious as Mezze or with a drink!
