How do you make Fellah Köfte with Oil and Tomato Paste?

To make Fellah Köfte with Oil and Tomato Paste, soften fine bulgur with hot water, then knead it with tomato paste, seasonings and enough flour or semolina to hold its shape. Roll into small pieces, dimple each one, boil until tender, and coat with sauce.

Where does Fellah Köfte with Oil and Tomato Paste come from?

Fellah Köfte with Oil and Tomato Paste is associated with southern Turkey, especially the Çukurova and eastern Mediterranean region, including Adana and Mersin. Families and local recipes vary in the seasonings and sauce, but the bulgur dumplings are its defining feature.

Why do the dumplings in Fellah Köfte with Oil and Tomato Paste fall apart?

The dumplings in Fellah Köfte with Oil and Tomato Paste can fall apart if the bulgur has not softened fully or the dough has not been kneaded enough to bind. Let the bulgur absorb the hot water, knead until cohesive, and lower the dumplings gently into boiling water.

Why are the dumplings in Fellah Köfte with Oil and Tomato Paste indented?

The small indentation in Fellah Köfte with Oil and Tomato Paste is traditional and helps the dumplings cook evenly while giving the sauce more surface to cling to. Press the centre gently with a fingertip without making a hole all the way through.

For the sauce, briefly cook tomato paste and garlic in oil, then loosen it with a little of the dumplings' cooking water. Toss the boiled Fellah Köfte with Oil and Tomato Paste in the pan; lemon juice or pomegranate molasses can add a tangy finish.

Can you make Fellah Köfte with Oil and Tomato Paste ahead of time?

Yes. Prepare the boiled dumplings and sauce separately, refrigerate them in covered containers, and combine them shortly before serving. Keeping them apart helps the dumplings retain their shape instead of soaking up the sauce while stored.

Store leftover Fellah Köfte with Oil and Tomato Paste in a covered container in the refrigerator once it has cooled. Eat it within a few days, and discard it if it develops an unusual smell or appearance.

What is Fellah Köfte with Oil and Tomato Paste?

Fellah köfte with oil and tomato paste comes from southern Turkey, especially the Çukurova region. Small dumplings are shaped from fine bulgur mixed with semolina and flour, boiled, then tossed in an oily tomato-paste sauce, often flavoured with garlic. They are tender with a little bite, and the tangy, savoury sauce clings to each piece. In Turkey they may be served as a meze or alongside a main dish, and they also make a satisfying home-cooked lunch or supper. The dish is mainly a source of carbohydrates, with fibre from the bulgur and some protein. Use a lighter hand with the oil and add parsley or lemon for a fresher finish.
