EASY EKŞİLİ KÖFTE
Serving: 6
Difficulty: Easy
Prep. Time: 5 minutes
Cooking time: 10 minutes
1 L hot water, 4 cups
1 pack, 400 g garnish (peas, carrots, potatoes)
1/3 teaspoon salt
For meatballs;
Half onion
70 g fine bulghur, 3 tablespoons, semolina or cracked rice works great as well. Boil and cool the rice before adding to meatball.
1 egg white
100 g minced meat
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 pinches of dry mint
2 pinches dry oregano
2 pinches cumin
2 pinches of black pepper
4-5 sprigs of parsley
3 tablespoons flour
3 tablespoons yogurt
1 egg yolk
1 lemon juice
1 tablespoon butter
1 teaspoon dry mint
½ teaspoon red pepper flakes
Pour a litre of boiling water in a pot, add the garnish and a pinch of salt.
Place half onion, fine bulghur and egg white in the food processor and pulse.
Add the minced meat, cumin, mint, dry oregano, salt, black pepper and pulse again.
When the mixture unites, add in the parsley and give it last pulse.
To shape the meatballs put the flour in a tray. Flour your hands.
Take the half of the mixture and make a roll with your hands like a sausage. Rub it to the flour then take out to your cutting board. Roll it into a cylinder shape by moving it back and forth with your hand and cut them into small pieces. Put the pieces into the flour tray and do the same for the rest.
After all the meatballs are coated in flour, put them in a strainer, remove excess flour and transfer into the pot.
Transfer the remaining flour into a bowl. Add the egg yolk, yoghurt, a pinch of salt and lemon juice and mix.
To prevent the yogurt to curdle temper the mixture with cooking water. Then pour warm mixture into the pot.
Melt the butter in a small saucepan, add dry mint and red pepper flakes, give it a stir and add into the dish while the butter starts to brown.
You can eat this very easy, affordable and heavenly comfort food every day! Enjoy with your loved ones! ❤️

I always knew I was Turkish from my father's side. His mother, my grandmother, taught me how to cook. My family primarily spoke English and we took on American culture as our own. So many comfort foods without names I always assumed were just what we made to eat. It was there, the unique ingredients and flavors just because it's what we had. My father passed away and I never inquired about my Turkish heritage. But upon finding your channel, I realized how many mannerisms I see of my family in you, Rafika. I can see my grandmother, aunts, cousins and my father. The foods you graciously share here with the world, found me, and I, have found my culture. It's been such a heart warming experience to discover Turkish cuisine in its authentic forms and knowing my family passed them down to me all this time. Thank you much for the effort you put in all your videos! Your videos are imbued with warmth and love; I feel like I'm watching a family member and my day feels less lonely. Thank you again - With Love from the US
This… what you wrote… is beautiful
Your days feel less lonely …. I am sure there are less lonely people living in Turkey than in America. A really lovely tribute to this warm person.
Another great but not well known recipe of our traditional cuisine, your English channel has become my new addiction, thanks for your efforts to promote our delicious tastes with such helpful and joyful manner, love you guys 🎉
Another lovely comment to our new video 🎉 May it spread around the world as you share! 🥰🙏🏻
Pizza please, angel!
I just tried it this evening. Substituted ground turkey for the mincemeat and used rice instead of bulger. Delicious!!!
My daughter has just been on holiday in turkey,I think it was an ideal holiday. She was so impressed that she was able to pick oranges straight from the tree
For the log shape and then cutting into pieces, excellent tip! Yum
Ah! A classic winter dish that mom loves. She keeps these small meatballs ready in the freezer to make soup anytime she wants.
I made this tonight it turned out awesome thank you . Almost as good as my Anne used to make . Your channel is a greatly appreciated by Turks born outside of 🇹🇷
Ma shaa Allah. I can smell the aroma of meatballs and butter tarka in the last
Its so interesting to see how you make it in Turkey! Love the tip with kneading the meat and preparing the meatballs before. I think I will do this from now on. Here in Romania we also make meatball soup, it's my favorite. As a comparison, we make the meatballs from 400 gr beef or chicken meat, we add 1 onion, 1 bunch of fresh dill, 2 eggs, salt, pepper, paprika, a tip of knife of cinammon and 12 crushed coriander corns. The soup itself: we sauté 1 onion, 3 carrots, half of celery root, 1 parsnip, add water, about 5-6 liters, 250 ml tomato sauce, mixture of cream and 2 egg yolks, spices, the meat balls, 1 cup of "borș" (fermented grains juice) and in the end a bunch of fresh lovage. 😊
Hi there, thank you so much for your wonderful comment! It's truly amazing how food connects us across borders and cultures. Your Romanian meatball soup recipe sounds absolutely delicious and unique with the addition of fresh dill, cinammon, and crushed coriander corns - such a flavorful combination! We love the idea of using "borș" for that extra special touch. 😊 Food truly is a universal language, and we're thrilled to hear about your favorite recipe. Feel free to share more culinary adventures anytime! 🍲✨
Thanks so much for this recipe! Here in the US food prices crazy, so this will help.
What a delicious group of flavors - I can't wait to make this!❤
I still make your red lentil soup when I have friend over for a meal. They never have only two helpings…they always have three! And then they still enjoy the main dish abs dessert afterwards. The lemon takes it to a different level! Thank you for al, your recipes. ❤
Thank you so much for your lovely comment ❤️
refika rulo yapıp, kesip, köfteleri yuvarlamak harika bir fikir... en üşendiğim aşama kolaylaştı.

Thanks for bringing your culture to us around the world.

I loved it it was so good. I am making it again tonight because I’m tired and it’s so easy and delish.
"If you have a kid..." Yesss! Child labour (joke) With us, my dad had us peeling shrimp and garlic, something big adult fingers found difficult.
I will definitely try that flour rolling trick for making a lot of small meatballs very quickly. I also love that the leftover flour is not wasted.
Thank you for sharing .
This looks amazing!
That looks and sounds delicious- it’s next on my list of dishes to try. Thank you!
Oh wow that looks delicious! I will definitely be making this. Thank you ❤️

Wooo, it's yummy. Thank you Refika. Today my weather is snowing so it's perfect for this soup. I will make it ❤
I want that! Why do all the immigrants from Turkey in Sweden open a pizzeria, they could make a fortune by serving proper food, like this! And Turkish breakfast... Yes please!
this also puzzles me very much. i don't get why they always open fast food places.
This looks so good. I will make it this weekend.

@@Refika 🤗
I came across this recipe last night and made it today, it tastes amazing, will be making it once a week for sure. Love your channel and sending you lots of love 🧡
That's awesome! Thank you. 🙏🏻
Very nice cooking
I made this recipe and it is so so delicious! I did however need to add a bouillon. it really is spectacular
Healing vibes to your back Rafikah ❤ I love this recipe and I’m definitely going to Veganize it
let us know how you vegainze it! i am thinking of using quinoa to substitute for bulgur but maybe you can see if it can sub for meat as well?
Respected mam
Your this recipe is outstanding. I liked it very much. Your cooking style is great.i. I appreciate you. Be blessed
That looks like a luscious bowl of happiness 😊 😊😊
This soup looks amazing! Here in the US, food prices are crazy-high, and this will be easy on the budget.
The flavors in this recipe sound so delicious! I can't wait to try this, and thanks so much for sharing, Refika.
did you make the recipe? did you use 1lb (454g) of meat instead of 100gr? I am also trying to make this recipe in the US and the smallest amount of meat you can buy is 1lb of meat. but then the recipe becomes very large when you multiply everything it by 4.5. I am not sure if my biggest pot can handle it.
It looks great so if it tastes better than that it will be excellent. 😊
Looks amazing, I don't eat meat, but I will still make it for my parents ❤
Wow lovely recipe will surely try for my kids love soup
Thank you. ❤️
From Texas 🇺🇸 it's a very rainy day 🌧 this looks perfect 👌
I have sour cream and a mint tea bag, let's see if I can make it
Looks good but I would use different veggies I do not like peas at all. But I certainly will try this. You always amaze me with your recipes using small amounts of meat and come up with reasonably priced meals. Thank you for all you share. Many blessings and be safe.🦬🐞🪶🥰
eating them right now. Another banger recipe even though I made them with just bread crumbs 🤌
Thank you💖✌
Wow. Now I am sad I had salad for dinner. This looks SO TASTY and I will be making that!
I love this recipe but please Refika don’t rush. I like when you take your time and explain everything plus good meal should take longer than 15 minutes lol
Hahaha it's just a format :)
Bravo!
❤what an amazing recipe for us all❤. Think l will try flash frying the meatballs first for more flavour and colour. God Bless a Beautiful Human Being,and Gang of course👍🙏
Super!
Hi I just found you and I must make this soup. Thanks so much from Canada ❤❤
Lots of love to you 😂❤️
