Trin for trin

1. 1

   Place the ground beef in a large mixing bowl.

2. 2

   Add the grated yellow onion, minced garlic, bread crumbs, egg, chopped fresh parsley, paprika, cumin, black pepper, and salt to the bowl with the ground beef.

   Ca. 2 min.

   Kokkens note: Ensure the onion is well-drained after grating to avoid excess moisture in the mixture.

3. 3

   Mix all ingredients thoroughly by hand until well combined and slightly sticky; avoid overmixing to keep the meatballs tender.

   Ca. 5 min.

   Kokkens note: Mixing with your hands is best for incorporating all ingredients evenly.

4. 4

   Shape the mixture into oval or round patties, about 1.5 inches in diameter and 0.5 inch thick.

   Ca. 10 min.

   Kokkens note: Lightly moisten your hands with water to prevent the mixture from sticking.

5. 5

   Arrange the shaped köfteler on a plate, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and the meatballs to firm up.

   Kokkens note: Chilling helps the köfteler hold their shape better during cooking.

6. 6

   Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.

   Ca. 10 min.

   Kokkens note: Ensure the grill grates are clean to prevent sticking.

7. 7

   Lightly brush the köfteler with olive oil before placing them on the hot grill.

   Ca. 1 min.

8. 8

   Grill the köfteler for 3-4 minutes per side, or until they are nicely browned and cooked through.

   Ca. 15 min.

   Kokkens note: Adjust grilling time based on the thickness of your köfteler and desired doneness.

9. 9

   Remove the cooked köfteler from the grill and serve immediately.
