What is Fried Meatballs with Kasar Cheese?
Fried meatballs with Kasar cheese are made by shaping seasoned minced meat around a piece of kaşar, a Turkish semi-hard cheese, then frying the meatballs until browned. The cheese softens inside, giving the centre a rich, stretchy texture. The seasoning and shape vary from one home or restaurant to another.
They are best served hot, when the outside is crisp and the cheese is still soft. In Turkey, they may come with salad, grilled vegetables or yoghurt; elsewhere, they also work with a simple green salad or bread. They provide protein, but frying and cheese make them rich in fat and energy. Pairing a modest portion with fresh vegetables makes for a lighter meal.
