To make İnegöl meatballs with tomato paste, shape a simply seasoned minced-meat mixture, cook the meatballs, and serve them with a separate tomato-paste sauce. Knead the mixture until cohesive, chill it briefly, then pan-fry or grill; loosen sautéed tomato paste with water for the sauce.
İnegöl meatballs with tomato paste pair İnegöl-style, meat-forward patties with a tomato-paste sauce. İnegöl köfte is traditionally served plain after grilling or pan-cooking, while Turkish köfte is a broad category that can include many shapes, seasonings, and regional recipes.
İnegöl meatballs with tomato paste are usually made with beef or a beef-and-lamb blend. The meatballs are typically seasoned simply so the meat remains prominent, and the tomato paste is used in the sauce rather than mixed into the traditional meat mixture.
İnegöl meatballs with tomato paste can fall apart if the mixture is not kneaded enough, is too wet, or goes into the pan before resting. Knead until it holds together, chill the shaped meatballs, and let their surfaces brown before turning them.
The sauce for İnegöl meatballs with tomato paste is made by briefly cooking tomato paste in a little oil, then stirring in hot water until it reaches a pourable consistency. Season it simply, and spoon it over cooked meatballs or simmer them in it briefly.
Usually, İnegöl meatballs with tomato paste are not very spicy. İnegöl-style meatballs are known for restrained seasoning that lets the meat stand out, while the tomato-paste sauce may include black pepper or other seasonings depending on the cook.
Serve İnegöl meatballs with tomato paste with rice, roasted peppers and tomatoes, potatoes, or a fresh salad. Rice or crusty bread also works well for soaking up the sauce; add salad or vegetables for a fresher, lighter plate.
İnegöl meatballs originate in İnegöl, a district in Bursa, Turkey. The tomato-paste version is a sauced preparation of the meat-forward local-style meatball; the classic İnegöl köfte is more often served plainly grilled or pan-cooked.
Cooked İnegöl meatballs with tomato paste keep for up to three days in a covered container in the refrigerator. Refrigerate them promptly after cooking, and reheat until hot throughout; storing the sauce separately can help the meatballs keep their texture.
Yes, İnegöl meatballs with tomato paste can be frozen. For better texture, freeze the cooked meatballs and sauce in separate sealed containers, thaw them in the refrigerator, and reheat thoroughly. Avoid refreezing meatballs once they have thawed.

İnegöl meatballs with tomato paste are a sauced version of İnegöl köfte, associated with the town of İnegöl in Bursa, northwestern Turkey. The meatballs are typically made from minced beef, or beef and lamb, then served with a sauce based on tomato paste. Their seasoning is generally restrained, letting the flavour of the meat come through.
They are served hot, with a browned exterior and a tender centre. In Turkey, they can be the centre of a meal alongside rice, bread, salad or yoghurt; elsewhere, they work just as well with roasted vegetables or a simple green salad. They provide protein, while also being relatively rich in fat. For a lighter plate, pair them with vegetables and choose either bread or rice rather than both.
