Sådan gør du
1: If you don't buy the bread, bake one or two first. You will find the recipe under notes.2: Mix the ingredients from the köfte. I chop the onion and parsley in a minichopper, and otherwise mix everything together, so that it can pull for an hour or more before using it (if you have time - otherwise you just mix it just before you use it).3: Form small "sausages", about 2 × 7 cm (or put them on skewers if it's the easiest for you)4: Grill them, or fry them on the stove for about 6-8 minutes. Remember to turn along the way. They should be slightly soft and slightly pink inside.
For the sauce:1: Fry the onion for about 1 minute 2: Add chili and garlic and fry for a few minutes3: Then add the remaining items and allow to boil for about 10 minutes4: Blend it with a hand blender
1: Melt the butter at low heat2: Stir the yogurt with a fork to make it more creamy4: toast the bread - so the edges just gets a bit bite and becomes brittle. Slices the bread in small cubes4: Put the bread on a dish, sprinkle a little sumac over, then the tomato sauce, the yoghurt, the meat and the sizzling melted butter.Enjoy the refreshments
Noter
I can only recommend baking the bread myself - it will be super delicious. You get the recipe for pide ekmek here. Just shake it a little before you need it, so there will be a slightly crispy edge. It makes it all a bit more delicious.If you have the opportunity, use pure lamb. The mixture becomes a bit more dull and with less taste. Just a little.If necessary, add a little garlic to the yogurt and the pine nuts for the sauce. It's quite good.
