Köfte is the everyday meatball of Turkish cooking, and the seasoning decides most of its character. Başak Köfte Harcı is a ready-made köfte seasoning mix in a 100 g sachet; the pack calls it a meatball or kofta spice mix. It saves you from measuring a dozen spices every time you cook.
Work the sachet into minced beef or lamb as directed on the pack, knead until the mix is evenly spread, then rest the meat in the fridge before shaping. Köfte can be grilled, pan-fried or baked, and served with rice or bulgur pilaf, a tomato and onion salad, yoghurt, or tucked into bread with parsley and sliced tomato. The same mixture works for kofta kebabs and meatballs in a tomato sauce.
Keep the sachet in a cool, dry place and close it well after opening. Read the ingredient list and allergen note printed on the pack, and check the best-before date.
