Instructions for Izmir köftesi

To prepare the Izmir köftesi recipe, please follow these instructions:

Sprinkle the bread in a little water, squeeze it dry and crumble it into a large bowl. Add meat, egg, garlic, cinnamon, peppers, salt and pepper and knead well together. Have damp hands!

Still with damp hands you make walnut-sized meatballs. These are put on a plate of flour in which they are rolled in.

The Margarine is melted in a large pot. The meatballs are browned uniformly, a few pieces at a time, then they are picked up with a casing and kept warm.

When all the meatballs are browned and picked up, the rest of the ingredients are left in the pan, boil and simmer for 15 minutes.

Bring the meatballs back into the pan and simmer for another 15-20 minutes.

It all comes on a dish and is served with rice and yogurt-cucumber salad (tzaziki).
