kofta potato dish

Turkish kofta & potato slices cooked in the oven with tomato sauce. It is very healthy and easy recipe you can make with minced meat.

This traditional Turkish Kofta & Potato is very popular in Turkey and mostly served with Turkish Rice Pilaf. It is possible to fry classic koftas on a stovetop served with pilaf. In this version, we are going to bake everything instead of frying. You can add different vegetables like eggplant too.

Turkish Kofta & Potato In The Oven

onion

garlic

parsley

bread

500 gr. ground beef (Or better if half is ground lamb)

salt

cayenne pepper and cumin

tsp black pepper

water

olive oil

potato

tomatoes and green peppers

tomato paste (heaped)

For the kofta mixture; add cut in 4 onions, garlic and bread pieces to processor. And process them until they are very small pieces.

And after processing, add ground beef, parsley, salt, black pepper, cumin and cayenne pepper.

To make the meatballs a little soft better, add some water and olive oil. And process them until you get well combined kofta mixture.

Shape the meatballs at the same size of potato and veggie slices. Because we want to get aesthetic show.

Preparing Koftas:

Slice the potatoes and tomatoes in about 2 cm thickness.

Assemble koftas and veggies in a medium size tray. But using round tray isn’t necessary. You can use rectangular oven safe pan too.

If your peppers are thick cut them in 2 pieces. And then put them on top of the koftas and veggies.

Slicing Veggies And Assembling:

In medium size pan, heat 2 tbsp olive oil. Then add tomato paste and stir them together until they are combined. And after 3-4 minutes, add hot water to make a thick sauce. And simmer 2-3 more minutes and turn off the heat.

Pour the tomato sauce all over the koftas and veggies. And bake in 200 celsius degree oven for 45-60 minutes.

Making Tomato Sauce:

Kofta or “Kofte” is a popular meatball type of dish in Turkey and the middle east. We have many kofta recipes and kebabs in Turkish cuisine.


I will make a kofta recipe, the way we make it at home, easily using a food processor in this episode. The great thing is you can freeze and cook whenever you want to have a ready meal

Turkish Kofta Recipe

lamb

onions

tbsp ground stale bread/bread crumbs

parsley (optional)

tsp each black pepper, salt, paprika

green sweet peppers

Traditionally we make the kofte mixture by hand by grating the onions, chopping fresh herbs if used, and mixing the other ingredients in a bowl well. But you can easily do these steps in a food processor. If your food processor isn’t so big you can only chop the onion and parsley and continue mixing in a bowl

process

In a food processor add onion cut in four, parsley. If you are using stale bread soak it in water to soften then squeeze out excess water and add to the onion parsley mixture. Process until they have fine pieces, avoid over-processing, and don’t make it like a puré.

Add the ground meat, spices, and baking soda if using. Drop 3-4 drops of lemon juice over the baking soda and mix everything by pulsing until is it evenly incorporated.

shape

Dip your hand into the water from time to time and get smaller than mandarine size mixture and first shape into a ball and press it to make a disk. It comes together when cooks and becomes thicker so consider that while shaping.

Making Kofte Mixture:

cook

Heat the cast iron griddle or non-stick frying pan or grill. Brush it with vegetable oil. Add kofte pieces leaving space between them and cook on medium heat until both sides and inside are fully cooked.

Meanwhile cut the tomatoes in big wedges and cook on the griddle or grill with green peppers.

Serve the koftes with pilav and grilled veggies. You can also make coban salad, or cacik (yogurt-cucumber sauce) to serve.
