Most outstanding...I played soccer at a German club and they made a raw meat sandwich with raw beef, a slice of onion, butter, salt, pepper, on rye...it was delicious as I am sure your recipe is!!!

Never heard of dry basil in chi kofte. We always have used salt, black pepper and most importantly cumin. Interesting.

Excellent. We always serve this the second way you made it. I grind my own meat with the grinder attachment on my mixer...it has to be chilled first and I grind it three times...coarse twice and fine the third time. Thanks for sharing your version.

I made your eech and it was delicious. But I didn’t know you add basil to chi kofte.

Adding basil is definitely not traditional, but adds a nice touch.

You don’t put pine nuts, tomato paste, cumin, basil in the traditional chi kufte. You only put red pepper powder, parsley, salt, olive oil, fine chopped onion. Armenians from west Armenia “yetesia” currently Urfa shape it in small portion mixing the fine chopped parsley, fine chopped🧅, fine bulgur, red pepper powder, salt, they mix it well together then with ice water they shape it with their hand. However , the Lebanese Armenians make it flat and garnish it with parsley green onion and onion around the meat, and some like to garnish it with pine nuts on the top and olive oil at the end before serving it. It always served cold. I learned to put the fine bulgur and mix it with red pepper and fine chopped onions in ziplock and freeze it ahead of time before making chi kufte. Bon appétit.

Do you use filet mignon?

@achkichop Жыл бұрын

We used top round, but you could potentially use a lean cut of filet. You don’t really want fat in your chikofte.

And the oskar goes to national Armenian dish "Steal from neighbours and present as ours". Glory to national Turkish cuisine Çiy Köfte!

These are Armenian dishes with Turkish names from Ottoman years, but why don’t we try using the Armenian names to all these dishes? It’s so annoying to see these Armenian dishes with Turkish names. Does anyone of you ever think about it before taping these food shows? I’m sure if you don’t know their Armenian names, it’s would be very easy and simple to ask someone who knows.

Just to add some more information. Cig Kofte means Raw Meatball in Turkish.

both of those words come from Farsi, not turkish. Also, no one cares. the dish is Armenian

@@somedudestolemyname The whole world knows that the origin of Cig Kofte is Arabic and that Turkish language has many Persian words. Cig is a Turkish word while Kofte is a persian word. Armenians have an ethnicity crises. Armenians lived among Arabs and Turks and adopted many Muslim dishes. Otherwise these dishes have nothing to do with Armenia and Armenians. The narrow minded fascist ideology of right wing Armenians destroyed Armenia so bad that they lost half of their army against Azerbaijan. Armenia was claiming that they were winning the war until they surrendered shortly after. The state of Armenia is completely corrupt and the diaspora in the US is even worse. Armenia is now a Russian puppet third world country disliked by all its neighbours.

Hey Akisha! Keep your information to yourself! You’re not telling us anything new. These dishes are all Armenian, and happens to have Turkish names simply because they were developed by Armenian chefs during the Ottoman era. Most of the chefs at the Palaces for security reasons were Armenians also with Turkish names. In those days that was the reality of an intolerant society.

Armenian dish? 😂 But somehow the name is Turkish right? Why you like to be laughed at? Same goes to Dolma which is Azerbaijani meal name and to all other your lies. You don’t have respect for yourself.
