[Music]
i am today really excited if you ask me
why
the reason is i'm going to make kufta
today
[Music]
[Applause]
[Music]
when i was a small child i wasn't able
to eat anything i didn't like anything i
would throw up anything that is
pushed for me but kofte has always been
my loyal friend
and it's all kinds of crafting not just
meat but you have different various
things
including spinach to mushrooms today i'm
going to make one of the
most classical characters the cuff
stance that you eat outside
like a small restaurant cocktail
we have small restaurants which only
make coffee and they're really famous
for it usually that kofta is a mixture
of minced meat and
salt and pepper and secrets that they
never tell so today we are going to make
that kofta
usually the preparation of that coffee
takes few days
but with small refika tricks we're going
to be able to do it
in 10-15 minutes and the beautiful thing
is
everyone around the world can make it
[Music]
now i would like to make a conversation
because i wanted to say
we're going to prepare these crafters in
five minutes and quickly and another
five
and bar said if you cannot make it i
will kill you so
we're going to do something and you say
no it's not fine if it took you 15
minutes then you ran it down
and then she was about to kill me now
she's putting the blame on you guys
grass is always greener from the other
side so we start cooking
we have an onion we have 250 grams of
prima minced meat and stale bread
these are going to be the really basis
now this is a rather small island if
it's a bigger one
use the huff but now i'm going to use
the hole i'm going to throw it
inside and then why the stale bread
when you're making kofta there are some
things in turkish tradition
that makes everything more meaningful we
have about
over 350 types of kefteh kufta is not
just
meat it's a mixture of a lot of goodness
and i'm going to use the inside of this
stale bread
this is going to help to hold the kefta
together
and it's also going to increase
the size like we have 250 grams of meat
but it's going to be
let's say a curved of 400 grams because
of the onion etc but i'm not going to
use the sides
i'm just going to use half of the inside
like this
if you have a whole wheat bread a toast
bread or something
you can use the whole thing and just
like throw it in
it's not important
now onion and the stale bread became
like a puree like this i want to show it
to you
[Music]
then i'm putting the 250 gram of
mincemeat of beef you can use mutton or
any kind of
meat that you use it's better if it's
around the ribs
and i'm going to put half a teaspoon of
sodium bicarbonate
if you don't have it you can use baking
powder and half a teaspoon of
salt and half a teaspoon of pepper
i grind my pepper all the time it makes
a whole difference in the taste
and to this some of the curves are made
with
lamb meat so it's more buttery so i'm
doing it with
a teaspoon of butter and then we turn it
on
until it becomes a paste i'm not making
it very fast
in the restaurants what they do they put
it into the grinder
the bread and the onion and let it sit
and then they put the meat and let it
sit for another day so after two days
it's ready to make the curved
[Applause]
we have the mince meat this doesn't look
great and it has a little funny smell
and that smell is like as if it's
getting rotten that's carbonate working
it's making it age and tenderizes the
meat
it will give a spongy texture now
because it's too sticky
i'm going to put some water and i'm
turning the heat now i'm going to wet my
hands
and give the shape accordingly like
does it matter cliche no but what i'm
going to do
i'm going to the finger on top and there
are going to be bumps like this
why more surface area more middle
reaction
and better taste how we're going to make
it now make a round shape and then
press it and it will be this ellipse
like shape
like this i have plenty
two people will be really full with this
i have my cast iron pan if you don't
have it
you can do it in a stainless steel to
understand whether it's hot enough you
just have to just
put some water and see whether it
disappears
i'm going to first make one portion one
portion six
when we are cooking a steak or a burger
what we do
is just cook one side very well and then
turn it and cook it and never like put
one side and the other one but in kofte
it is different what we are going to do
is for example if this is able to be
turned we turn it
yes like this
we put the peppers and tomatoes
while they're doing that to this i'm
going to add 2 teaspoons
of butter and i'm going to put hot water
and you're not going to believe what i'm
going to do with this
this will stay what the hell is that
that's the question i wanted you to ask
because we're turning it all the time
you're not looking for like a perfect
mark or something
it's going to be this perfect cooking
when it is cooking i'm going to make
marks to this very nice bread
like this the bottom is intact
i want scars like this so now
i am taking like this
this will sit for a while
to this i am going to add half of this
be very careful with your hands and
i'm going to put this bread
and now all the things in the middle
soaks the beauty
now the bread comes in
[Music]
tomatoes
[Music]
and look at this
[Music]
and here i have from the antacia
antioquia region salt yogurt
and you can eat pickles if you like with
this but by itself it's very beautiful
now look how juicy it is
and take a part of the bread
[Music]
and together with some pepper
[Music]
always so good don't want to eat bread
you can eat it with yogurt
[Music]
[Applause]
the perfect bite
[Music]
[Applause]
[Music]
you can make the tomatoes beforehand but
it will never be the same
this is very nice by itself but when it
soaks all the goodness it becomes
again something else a bit of yogurt
a bit of green
[Music]
now i want to show you the stickiness i
know this looks
not so good this is how this kind of
kefta is
spongy the kebabs usually it has to fall
apart
it shouldn't be spongy so you don't need
them a lot grand mark of this
are those that are with a lot of herbs
and greens usually parsley or some other
things
but this is plain you get the taste of
the meat
you can eat by hand you don't leave
anything on the grill you get that taste
as well like this this is basically
