Kofte - Turkish Meatballs image

I learnt to cook rustic dishes from Cyprus, (which I still make today). Here is my ex MIL's recipe for Kofte which I serve in pita bread and a salad.

These kofte were a bit bland for my taste, but I think that's because I didn't use enough spices.

I had some trouble getting the kofte to hold together, but I think that was because I didn't mix the meatball mixture well enough.

I've tried many kofte recipes over the years, but this one is by far the best.

The kofte were delicious, but I found that I needed to add a little bit more salt to the mixture.
