Follow The Directions
01
StepPrepare the Aromatic Base: Tear the stale bread into pieces and place them in the bowl of a food processor. Process until fine crumbs form. (2 minutes)
02
StepCombine and Blend: Add the ground lamb and beaten egg to the breadcrumbs. Process until just blended, being careful not to overmix. (1 minute)
03
StepInfuse with Flavor: Introduce the chorus of spices. Add the chopped parsley, minced garlic, cumin, dried mint, allspice, salt, and pepper to the mixture. Process until all ingredients are evenly combined, creating a fragrant and flavorful base. (1 minute)
04
StepShape the Kofta: Gently roll the lamb mixture into small, uniform meatballs, approximately 1-inch in diameter. (10 minutes)
05
StepSear to Perfection: Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat until shimmering. (2 minutes)
06
StepCook in Batches: Cook the meatballs in batches, being careful not to overcrowd the pan. Turn occasionally, ensuring each meatball is browned on all sides and cooked through. (4-5 minutes per batch)
07
StepRest and Serve: Transfer the cooked meatballs to a paper towel-lined plate using a slotted spoon to drain any excess oil. Serve immediately and enjoy the rich, savory flavors of Turkish cuisine.
