Merhaba everyone this is Aysenur Altan welcome
to Turkish Food Recipes.
In this episode we are making easy kofta kebab
wrapped in yufka or thin lavash bread served
with tomato sauce.
In Turkish we call it "Beyti Kebabı" It is
easy delicious and has a beautiful presentation.
Great for feast menu in Ramadan or any time
for your guests or for your family.
Let's get started
I will begin to make the kofte dough, meat
mixture first.
I am going to use food processor for this.
If you don't have just grate the onions and
finely chop everything else and continue the
other steps.
First i will chop the onions and parsley
I am adding ground meat that is a bit has
fat in content and 2 sweet capia pepper.
I will add thin wheat bulgur in it but you
can add a slice of old bread that you sokad
and squeeze out the water.
Or even without adding any of it.
Originally we keep it only with meat like
a kebab
For the seasoning i ass salt, black pepper,
cumin and ground red pepper.
You can add less or more depend on your taste.
My filling is ready in no time.
Now i can begin to wrap and shape it
To wet my yufka i will use same amount of
vegetable oil and water mixture.
You may need to whisk it time to time.
If you can't find yufka bread you can look
for thick phyllo sheets or thin wrapping bread
or lavash bread.
If you use phyllo since it is thinner just
oil it.
If you use thicker wrapping use more water
and oil so it won't be dry in the oven.
So i dampen my yufka and fold it.
I will also wet the top.
And to the wide side i will place half of
the filling along with the yufka sheet as
you can see.
Press down the kofte dough a little as you
do.
And just leave some space on the edges to
fold over.
Now i am going to Wrap and roll the dough
tightly.
İ cut the rolled peace on half so i can place
it to my cutting board easily.
And than cut about 3 cm thick pieces.
Place the pieces on greased baking sheet and
do the same steps with other yufka sheet and
kofta dough mixture.
I brush the tops with olive oil and water
sauce i have left and bake them in preheated
200C oven until it is golden brown on top
and bottom and the kofte filling is cooked
nicely.
While my Beyti kebab is cooking i will make
the tomato sauce.
I will puree 3-4 medium size tomatoes along
with 2 cloves of garlic in the food processor.
No need to clean it it will give it's taste
to the sauce too :)
In a medium pan i heated 3-4 tablespoon olive
oil and cook the pureed mix.
After it is cooked about 3-4 minutes i added
1 tsp tomato paste and about 1/2 cup water
and continue to cook until i have a nice consistency
of tomato sauce.
My Beyti kebab cooked about 35 minutes in
the oven.
They have golden brown color on top and inside
is cooked nicely looking beautiful..
I can take out from the oven.
I put them right away to a serving plate hot
from the oven and drizzle the tomato sauce
over and sprinkled some chopped parsley and
our beyti kebab is ready..
Traditionally in restaurants it is shish kebab
inside wrapped with lavash bread.
But as a home version we really like this
way too.
I the coming episode i will share a complete
menu together with beyti kebab including green
beans with olive oil, yufka borek and bulgur
pilaf with vermicelli and ice cream
