What is Sark kofte?
Sark kofte is a Turkish meatball associated with the country’s eastern culinary traditions. It is made from seasoned minced meat, often mixed with onion; recipes and spice blends vary between households and regions. The patties are shaped and cooked until browned, with a tender, juicy centre when prepared well.
In Turkey, they can be served with salad, grilled vegetables or ayran, and they also pair easily with flatbread or rice. Outside Turkey, a simple salad and roasted vegetables make an easy accompaniment. Sark kofte is protein-rich, though its fat content is also worth bearing in mind; for a lighter meal, grill it and make vegetables the main side.
