Traditional Turkish Kofte (Meatballs) Recipe

Kofta is a very traditional dish that is enjoyed by everyone, whether children or adults. It is also very practical to prepare for many dishes. Especially the fact that it can be prepared in advance and stored in the refrigerator makes dry meatballs the savior of emergencies. Next to it, bulgur pilaf, rice pilaf, noodles, pasta... In short, anything goes.

I don't know if it's a childhood habit, but I make meatballs with pasta, or even more spaghetti. You know, meatballs and pasta are children's favorite food, I guess this habit has not changed at my age.

As I know better than myself, I usually make this menu when I have guests with children. Children adore them. For this reason, guests whose children eat their meals without any problems also have a good time.

Enjoy the recipe...
