hi everyone hi everyone hi everyone hi everyone
are you gonna make us oh
today we're very excited because i want to introduce you he is Yağız, like the junior Burak
he's like a child to me at the same time a really good friend and we're gonna do his recipe today
and our recipe is actually a vegan raw köfte in Turkey there's something called Çiğ Köfte which is
raw meat knitted with bulgur with the power of the hands and some spices it cooks and it becomes this
gorgeous thing but it's expensive it's not vegan et cetera et cetera and it's really important to
find the great meat so Yağız and I developed the recipe for a vegan one actually now in some of
the stores this vegan Çiğ Köfte is sold but there are lots of bad ingredients in it to increase the
taste we do it with all natural ones yeah it's number one selling street food in Turkey and
actually it should be in the world okay now here we have bulgur this is a special one what is the
specialty of this bulgur this is thinner than the other type of bulgur you have to get the thinnest
actually it's a bit darker as well thinnest bulgur that you can find in your stores as you can see
it's really really thin and this is almost one cup so we're gonna have three and a half cups yes
how many grams 500 grams in grams okay two three and the water we're gonna add is three and a half
glass a little more than what we add or is it the same it's the same and it's boiling hot water yes
how come google cooks this fast because it's already cooked actually it's boiled and cracked
and booger soaks the water so fast i just mix it as you can see immediately even though we added
so much water there's almost no water left i have to put a lid on so that in the warmth of the pot
it's gonna rise and it's gonna soak all the water but i'm gonna leave this to side for it to totally
soak and get cooked here i have a heap tablespoon of hot pepper paste that we have prepared actually
a heap tablespoon of tomato paste and 100 grams of tomato puree done in season so to use the hundred
percent of the ingredient that is already in the box i open the ears of it and i squeeze it well
so that i use all of it here's the whole iron twenty six how long you have known
this is actually a long story at the same time i'm eating half a glass of perfectly well olive oil so
what's the story story is you had so in a shopping mall i went to that show he was the 17 year old
apple chic guy after the show we talked about the cooking and our education so you were a student in
gastronomy by that no in high school high school but in gastronomy a heap teaspoon of cumin i also
add and then two tablespoons okay so this is salt pepper it's really nice it's called also
some people sell it as ufo peppers for pipers smoke if you cannot find it you can use normal
flake pepper is that all half a teaspoon of black pepper i'm just gonna mix this and this is gonna
give the booger the perfect taste yes according to your pepper paste saltness we can add some salt
ours is homemade so we should add a bit more so almost half teaspoon of salt too shall i mix it
well yes of course okay so the rest of the story he was as red as an apple which snow
white ate at that time he was trying to speak and his phone rang that time i had my tv show
on the national channel his phone started to sing that little girl a little watching over
daddy's farm from your spot in the old oak tree i was a little girl then it was a funny song and
i was amazed at that time i didn't even know how to add a tone to a phone which is not in the list
so i was very impressed now he's finishing his university and now we're preparing an incredibly
nice turkish technique book and for the turkish youtube channel an incredible cooking school
so it's all done instead of the meat we need some extra taste and also nutrition so these are mixed
nuts actually they are all they are roasted so we have peanuts we have hazelnuts almond
walnuts so any kind of nuts that you have it's 180 grams huh yes you are making it flour so one sec
if people have like almond flour or something can they use it
yes of course it's better
it's a mixture because almond has it's a very distinctive taste
if it's a mixture it's better but but if you just have that you can use it okay
i think that's enough and this is also by the way roasted so roasted has its own taste so if
it's a flour you can toast the flour as well a little so it's beautiful like this it also
adds some crunch to the coffee sometimes from india there are recipes from mexico there are
recipes which i learned now that they're almost saying keep in mind these are for to increase
the taste so i'm going to put it like this and we have two extra things which is big
onion and one garlic yes one garlic and i'm going to help the onion so that you can puree it easily
yes and add them here are we gonna totally puree it yes yes okay put the garlic okay
don't open it don't open it okay otherwise you'll start we're all gonna cry and we don't want to cry
for that we want to cry out of joy so here it's gonna sit for a while now it's almost
ready everything that's all the preparation we're gonna have we're gonna check the booger it's quite
hot yet look how much the bulgur expanded and when you taste it you cannot even eat like this
but it should be fluffy it shouldn't be like silky and sticky as well so what are we gonna do
maybe open the window and then cool this a bit be careful
don't let the birds eat it they have their share they should have their share
hello everyone if you haven't subscribed until now but if you like our videos please do because
we have lots of great content that we have already done and we're gonna do and we don't want you to
miss it and your support means so much for us not just for me but for the whole team
so bahar as you can see we're gonna have heavenly a lot of cafe i'm very happy of course
looking forward to it we take all this booger to a tray where we can net and under the tray we
have something for it to not to slide it could be a wet cloth as well so i'm just putting the
tomato sauce directly yes this is not gonna go to waste in a while i'm going to clean
it but i think you have to start here because i have to take my things off what's the story
there's a lady at some time because of some crisis it's forbidden for people to have their chimneys
work they shouldn't use any wood etc so you cannot like cook meat she finds a way she beats the meat
the stone and mixes it with bulgur and comes up with this custard that's the legend so what
i'm going to do is i said this is not gonna go to waste i'm just gonna get some booger in like this
and just wipe everything with my hands knitting is like collecting everything and then putting the
palm of your hand like this and putting pressure to the booger the other hand becomes like this and
then you do this so that you make sure that all of the booger is pressed with your hands this is how
you know pores have opened with water and this is how you know that everything mixes really well you
can do this with a kitchenaid or a stand mixer but when it's with the hand it's slightly more
tasty so we have to do this for how long we need to check the consistency of course but we are so
beginning after netting for example we did do this it looks it's dumb but when you taste it it breaks
it kind of breaks and the taste is not there yet so probably we're going to mix it for about
10 minutes and the traditional consistency check test is throwing it on the wall on the wall yeah
no this tray especially for this cafe as you can see the bottom is kind of wrinkled
the surface area is more so it helps for the pressing but if you don't have it it's
not the end of the world and the other person should clean the sweats on this
five minutes later now it's almost like five to ten minutes and as you can see when i do this
it's easily gets into shape but now we're gonna add something else which is onion juice and one
garlic this is gonna wet the bulgur but again mixing the same way we're gonna let it soak
with our pressure i want to include these kind of things because these are some of the things
like using the hands and getting all the ingredients i know it doesn't look very sexy
but it's very important for us to not throw away anything because in the old days we used
to learn things from our grandmas now we learned from each other so these kind of
tips are i believe as important as the recipe itself so the beautiful color changes a bit
15 minutes later now after you add the onion there will be a bitter taste but we need about
15 more minutes and actually you cooked the onion by knitting as well yes yes it has to be done if
it's done less there would be a bitter taste now it's time to add the nuts and another 10 minutes
so this is not so very easy recipe if you do this in the summer time what you should
do you should also have on the side some ice because it starts to get really really warm
because of your hands so you have to dip your hands to the ice even if you don't have meat
yes it becomes sticky and also sometimes dry again if this turns dry i would add ice
ah come on how the hell we're going to do this show us another easier way a few
years ago we did it for the subway stations of istanbul we did it with a stand mixer
and it's going to work for about 20 to 25 minutes even the stand mixer yes and if i don't have the
stomachs can it be done in a food processor as well no no it won't be as good no pain no gain
shall we try let's do it can we do it on the plate sure thing
yeah that's it yes i want to do something now throw one to your face and keep it sticky
you're gonna hate me for this but i want to include one more ingredient
what and i believe my turkish followers want to hate me for this but this is an optional one guys
this comes from the chemistry that i have in years acquired and i want to add soy sauce to this what
for everyone in the world because they won't have this tasty pepper paste this tasty really
he's making fun of me but why your tomato and pepper paste will not be probably as nice they
won't have isot so the taste will decrease they might not have pomegranate sour if you
have pomegranates or you can add pomegranate sour but most people in the world have soy sauce okay
are you satisfied okay so about three tablespoons of soy sauce this is the ingredient where you will
add if you're out of turkey and if you don't have good ingredients so we have to write it
as optional as well now i want you to taste it how will we feel about it actually i like it thank you
okay i believe this is don no how can i understand stun so like this but actually our food stylist
said that when woman does this and men does men's fingers shapes better the cuff they ah actually
this dish is mostly done by men in turkey ah so men's curve to look sexier okay three lumps four
lumps when the curfew is done it's time to shape it to shape the cure i first cleaned my hands and
here you can have iced cup and you put your hands here inside like this and they're wet
you take some and in your hands do this voila and stump you have to really really squeeze it
and put it like this and like after three four more curve tests you dip your hand again take
the extra pieces out and then continue and i want to show you the tray for the tray
how this is eaten we have some radish we have green lettuce some lemon which are gonna be cut
freshly once we start to eat and that's it and we put these beautiful curve this here
so it's been a while even the sun went away but as you can see we did a lot of chick after
two trays of chicken there all from this mixture and how do we eat it first off we need a lettuce
to that lettuce we put one chicken of them and if you want some radish some mint if you like
and very importantly some lemon when we wrap it well and we eat it this is how we do it
can you prepare me one with lavashmi's okay some piece of lava i put one two
oh and i press it well like this what do you want inside mint green onion okay just the green sides
some lemon a piece of small lettuce and if you want some pomegranate sauce
but with our new haircut actually i want one if you want we have the proper lavash recipe
we have one which is so very easy done on the pan we have it recently in the channel it's here and
i think that's it for today hope you enjoyed it
hope you loved yours as well and take greatest of care and have a nice weekend
