Instructions

  1. Put the bulgur in a bowl, pour boiling water over it and let it soak for 30 minutes. Squeeze out until dry, then add half of the minced meat, coarse turkish paprika and salt. Knead vigorously until a firm paste is formed. Shape the mixture into egg-shaped kofte and hollow it out with your finger. Put aside.
  2. For the filling, fry the onions and garlic in butter or oil until translucent. Then add the spices, walnuts and the second serving of minced meat. Cook for 4 minutes, then stir in the herbs. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Pour the mixture into the hollowed-out kofte. Squeeze the edge of the opening to close it. Roll the balls in a little flour and fry in plenty of oil until golden brown. Serve hot with yogurt and salad.

About Editorial Staff

The Boss Kitchen editorial staff oversees content review, fact-checking, and recipe verification across the site. Published articles pass through the editorial team before going live, ensuring ingredient lists, techniques, cooking times, and nutritional claims hold up in a home kitchen. The team coordinates contributions across the site writers, handles reader corrections, and maintains consistency in measurement conventions, safety guidance, and dietary labeling. Posts under this byline typically represent team-reviewed reference material, site announcements, or editorial roundups rather than individual-author features, and they are held to the same sourcing standards as bylined recipe and product coverage.
