Bolu’s knife-flattened kofte is shaped by wrapping finely ground beef around a long skewer and flattening it with the back of a knife, then cooking it quickly over hot coals. It can be tucked into bread and served cold as a packed lunch or snack.
Knead the ground beef with the grated onion, crushed garlic, soaked and squeezed stale bread, red pepper flakes, cumin, salt, and black pepper until smooth. Wrap and chill in the refrigerator for 15 minutes.
Wrap portions of the mixture tightly around long metal skewers. Press with the flat side of a wet knife to flatten them to an even, thin thickness.
Cook the kofte over hot embers, turning often, until browned all over.
Slide the kofte off the skewers, place it in warm bread, and wrap it up. Once cooled, it can also be packed for lunch.
Chill the kofte mixture in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes before wrapping it around the skewers so the beef will not slide off. Wet the knife before pressing to keep the kofte from sticking. Allergen: Contains wheat (gluten).
Dana kıyma yerine yağ oranı biraz daha yüksek kuzu-dana karışık kıyma kullandım, harç daha nemli kaldı ve közde kurumadı; pul biberi de azalttım çünkü ailem az acı seviyor.
Şişi bulamadığım için harcı avucumda yassı köfteler halinde şekillendirip sac üzerinde pişirdim, yine de ince açabildim. On dakikada iki tarafı da güzelce kızardı, ekmeğin arasında soğuduğunda da dağılmadı.
Kıyma harcını dinlendirme süresi tarifte 15 dakika yazıyor, bir gece bekletsem sorun olur mu? Ekmek içini ıslatıp sıkarken ne kadar nem kalmalı bilemedim, harcım biraz cıvık kaldı.
