These meatballs are usually made from minced beef. They are mixed with rice or bulgur, chopped onion, and various spices.
How Sulu Köfte is Made
The meatballs are cooked in their own flavorful liquid. This liquid often includes tomato sauce, olive oil, and a special Turkish red pepper paste. The ingredients simmer together until the meatballs are tender and the sauce is rich. It's a warm and comforting meal, especially popular in Turkey.
A Special Variation: Ekşili Köfte
There is a similar dish called ekşili köfte or terbiyeli köfte. The word ekşili means "sour" or "tangy." This version gets its unique taste from a special sauce. This sauce is made with egg and lemon, often called terbiye. The egg-lemon sauce adds a creamy, tangy flavor to the meatballs and broth.
