My local store sells cig köfte (pardon the spelling, my keyboard doesn't support some special characters) cheap. I thought about making some but I was told that it involved a lot of kneading and it's hard to make. Kinda disappointed that I didn't try the local ones in Istanbul.
I'm guessing homemade is a lot better than store-bought?
Çiğ köfte are a bit different and I rarely bother making them because I'm not a fan of kneading either lol. These lentil köfte are so much easier. No kneading at all.
Admittedly it took a while to make everything, but i ate for days 😆. Mercimek Köftesi, Msabbaha (this is so similar to humus just a different texture, you could use whatever humus recipe you prefer and add dried fruits), Mutabbal, Kısır, Açuka (this is great just on toast), Ezme salad
Edit: bloody hell, LiftOff did not make that easy...

Thanks! I make the lentil and bulgur Köfte a lot. They're so easy and delicious.

Thanks. I'll be honest it's the nicest looking food I've ever prepared. Most of my food ends up as tasty slop! 😆

The stuff in the blue bowl looks a lot like muhammara. Either way, looks delicious.

Thank you very much. This is perfect to share with friends and I love mediterranean food.
As for lemmy app, I'll suggest you try Voyager or Thunder. Both are FOSS and have VERY good UI.

Thanks. I'll check them out. I initially tried Jerboa but found it lacking

I'd eat each one of those as a meal on its own. I probably have already.

I feel you. I too have portion control problems 😆.
