How to Make Tangy Köfte Soup (Ekşili Sulu Köfte)
Grate 1 onion into 300 g of ground meat and chop 1 handful of parsley. Add 2 handfuls of washed rice, salt, and black pepper, then knead together. Shape the mixture into small round köfte (Turkish meatballs). Place the köfte in a floured bowl or tray and toss to coat them in flour. Pour water into a pot and bring to a boil. Once boiling, add 1 dessert spoon (about 2 tsp) of salt, then add the köfte and cook. In a bowl, whisk together the juice of half a lemon and 1 egg. Gradually ladle some of the hot soup broth into this mixture, then slowly pour it back into the soup and bring to a brief boil. Enjoy!
