Caramelized Onions. Köfte Meatballs. Argentine Empanadas.



Blog Post & recipe: Dinner Tonight: Köfte Meatballs with Haydari

It's a simplified version of this recipe.


This recipe comes from the Australian food magazine Gourmet Traveler, as part of a larger Turkish mezze-style spread. I nabbed the köfte and haydari recipes, which is a sauce similar to Greek tzatziki but with the intriguing addition of walnuts. The resulting meatballs—a mix of beef and lamb redolent of cumin, coriander, and garlic—were quick and wonderful.


Blog Post & Recipe: Argentine Empanadas


The recipe is pretty straightforward and simple. I omitted raisins in the filling because I never really liked them and most of the best empanadas I had didn’t have them either (although it is indeed, authentic). I also omitted the bell pepper because I didn’t have one.
