Inegol Kofte - Turkish Beef Kofta Recipe

Step 1

Mix the mince with salt, water, and breadcrumbs in a large bowl and knead for about 6-7 minutes until firm.

Step 2

Cover the bowl and keep it in the fridge and let it marinate for 24 hours.

Step 3

After 24 hours, mix the lemon juice and bicarbonate of soda in a small bowl then add it to the mince.

Step 4

Add the grated onions as well and mix them all until nicely combined.

Step 5

Take walnut size pieces from the mixture and turn them into a finger shape. Alternatively, shape them like small burger patties if you want to cook them on the BBQ.

Step 6

Repeat until all the mixture is finished. You should end up with around 30-32 koftes. Place them on a plate, cover and put them back in the fridge for another 2-3 hours.

Step 7

Grill the koftes on the BBQ or oven-grill or shallow fry on a skillet for about 5 to 6 minutes until they become golden brown.
