What is Mountain thyme butcher meatballs?
Mountain thyme butcher meatballs are Turkish-style köfte: seasoned minced meat shaped into patties or short ovals, with mountain thyme adding a fragrant herbal note. The butcher-style name suggests the generous, savoury seasoning associated with meat-counter köfte, though the exact blend and meat can vary by recipe. They are usually grilled, pan-fried or cooked over coals.
The browned outside gives way to a juicy, tender centre, while the thyme cuts through the richness. In Turkey they may come with rice, grilled tomatoes and peppers, salad or flatbread; elsewhere, serve them with roasted vegetables or a crisp salad. They are a protein-rich main, though also fairly rich in fat. For a lighter plate, pair a modest portion with plenty of vegetables.
