Cızbız Köfte

This food is one of the most popular grilled meats in Turkey. These beef patties are full of flavor and a great source of protein. This is my husband’s recipe for cızbız (sizzling) köfte. Serve next to salad for a well-balanced meal.

Ingredients

  • 1.5 pounds ground beef

  • ½ cup bread crumbs

  • 1 tablespoon pepper paste

  • 1 teaspoon hot pepper flakes or Aleppo pepper

  • Onion to taste, finely chopped

  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper

  • ¼ teaspoon cumin powder

  • 1 teaspoon salt

  • 1 egg

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

Instructions

  • Mix all ingredients in a large bowl.

  • Form into small beef patties about 2 inches wide and ¼ inch thick. This will make about 24 small patties.

  • Grill until fully cooked, about 5-10 minutes, depending on grill and temperature.
