Kadinbudu meatballs, which become more delicious as they rest, are one of the classics of Turkish cuisine. If you wish, you can serve it as a hot or cold appetizer, or you can choose it as a main course while hot, accompanied by French fries. Enjoy your meal!
As a preliminary preparation, boil 1/2 cup of broken rice by adding a teaspoon of salt and cool it. Rice should not soften too much.
You can also make this recipe with plain rice pilaf from the previous day. In this case, use 1/3 cup of rice.
Grate the dry onion. Finely chop 1/2 bunch of parsley. In a deep bowl, mix the ground beef with the onion, parsley and rice.
Peel two cloves of garlic, crush them on the cutting board with the back of the knife, finely chop and add to the mortar.
Add an egg and spices to your mortar and knead for 10 minutes. Stretch the kneaded meatballs and rest in the refrigerator for 1/2 hour.
For the coating mortar, beat 2 whole eggs and 1 egg white with the addition of 1 teaspoon of salt until foamy.
In a separate bowl, mix the flour and baking soda (or baking powder). Cool over the entire surface of the plate,
Heat the oil in a deep frying pan and heat it to medium heat.
Cut walnut-sized pieces from the meatball mortar and prepare 1.5 cm thick flat meatballs. At this stage, you can slightly wet your hand from time to time so that it does not stick,
Dip the meatballs you prepared first in the flour mixture and then in the beaten egg and fry them in hot oil by turning them upside down until they turn golden. (Dip the meatballs out of the egg mixture and immediately fry them in the oil, without straining too much, so that they scatter in the oil)
You can put the fried meatballs on a paper towel, drain the excess oil and serve them warm or cold, accompanied by french fries and pickled gherkins. Bon Appetit!
