Dalyan Kofte Recipe

Dalyan Kofte Recipe

My acquaintance with recipes and food photography goes back a long time, when I didn't even start primary school. When I was looking forward to starting school to learn how to read, a book of recipes that came out of the box of a pot set my mother bought. First I was looking at the pictures, then I learned to read and started to read the recipes.  I studied that recipe book with the same enthusiasm every time and for so long that I can even count the dishes in the book right now. One of those dishes was dalyan kofte.

There was no dalyan kofte among the limited number of dishes cooked in our house. However, there was also no other dishes using boiled eggs. That's why it was one of those recipes that I found most strange. The one I was most curious about and wanted to eat was the papaz yahnisi recipe. Then I grew up, I ate dalyan kofte many times, but I could not like it at all. I have cooked and ate papaz yahnisi many times and loved it very much. It would surely be more impressive if this story ended with a love of dalyan kofte that started later, but unfortunately real life is not as interesting as fictional stories. Let my story be the story of a woman who discovered what she wanted at a young age.

Those who read my articles along with the recipes will know that I do not like the use of boiled eggs in dishes. The only exception to this is Antalya style piyaz. Other than that, I do not enjoy dishes made or served with boiled eggs, including dalyan kofte. I guess this is the reason why I haven't shared a classic recipe like Dalyan kofte so far.

According to the rumors, the name dalyan kofte comes from Italian kofte. Although the origin of Dalyan kofte is from Italy, it has also managed to gain a rooted place in Turkish cuisine. We can place the Hungarian goulash in the same place. Both are common dishes in dining halls rather than at homes. Beneath this, I conclude, lies the culinary education curriculum that has not changed for years.

Enjoy ...
