TURKISH - Spring 2024 (Apr-Jun) Cuisine of the Quarter

IZMIR KOFTESI

I love the version of this served at a nearby spot, and every time I eat it there I think the flavors are so simple I should be able to come pretty close at home. So I finally tried my hand at it.

Kofte mixture is seasoned very simply with grated onion, garlic, parsley, and scant spices, then pan-fried to seal, and finally simmered (or baked) in a simple tomato sauce with potato wedges. Served over rice.

As straightforward as anticipated, and as delicious.
