Sulu köfte

Sulu köfte is a quintessential Turkish dish that combines savory meatballs with a hearty stew or thick soup. The meatballs, or köfte, are crafted from ground beef mixed with rice or bulgur, onions, and a blend of spices. They are then simmered in a mouthwatering gravy made with tomato sauce, olive oil, and Turkish red pepper paste, resulting in a rich and flavorful base.

A delectable variation of this dish is known as ekşili köfte or terbiyeli köfte, which features a tangy egg-lemon (terbiye) sauce that adds an extra layer of complexity. This traditional Turkish meal is a comforting and satisfying mix of meat, grains, and spices, perfect for a cozy dinner that will warm you from the inside out.
