Vegan Balls | Fellah Kofte Recipe | Great Recipe for Falafel & Hummus Lovers
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 8 เม.ย. 2022
- This week we are here with a vegan köfte recipe for you. Fellah köfte which can compete with 80% of the kebabs in Turkey, even 100% for a vegetarian. Star of the show for this recipe is the ever versatile bulgur which is an essential ingredient in Turkish cuisine. Bulgur is a type of cracked wheat and provides an excellent base for the flavours used in a recipe, absorbing them all like a sponge and leaving a party in your mouth with every single bite. I guarantee that you won't miss the meat with this budget friendly köfte.

1 cup fine bulgur
½ cup boiling water
½ cup all-purpose flour
1 heaped tablespoon pepper paste
1 teaspoon cumin
1 teaspoon salt
For the sauce,
6 cloves garlic, crushed
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 heaped tablespoon tomato paste
1 heaped tablespoon pepper paste
2 good handfuls walnuts, chopped
10 sprigs parsley, chopped
5 sprigs spring onions, chopped
● Mix the bulgur and boiling water in a large bowl and cover with a plate. Let the bulgur soak the water and soften for five minutes.
● Add in the flour, pepper paste, salt and cumin.
● Knead until the mixture comes together and becomes smooth. Always wet your hands with cold water while kneading and press on the mixture with the palm of your hands.
● Pull apart small pieces from the dough, which are slightly bigger than a hazelnut and make small rounds of the mixture in your hands and don’t forget to wet your hands every time. Then make small craters in the center with your index (or little finger) finger. Shaping can take some time but if you have someone to help you it is easy and fun with some small talk or singing!
● While shaping them boil 1,5-2 L (6-8 cups) water in a large pot and add a teaspoon of salt to the water.
● Place the köftes in boiling water and cook for 10 minutes or until they float.
● It is time to make the delicious sauce while koftes are boiling.
● Heat the olive oil in a large pan on medium heat and add the half of the garlic and sauté for 30 seconds. Be careful not to burn the garlic or it becomes bitter.
● Add in the tomato and pepper paste and press with your spatula to distribute well. Sauté for a minute and add 2 ladles of cooking water from the pot while stirring
● Heat the walnuts in a pan for a couple of minutes. Just heating would do great you don’t have to toast or brown them.
● Take out the köftes with a strainer and add in the sauce.
● Add the walnuts, set aside some for topping, and the rest of the garlic. Adding raw garlic at the last minute adds another dimension of flavour and makes a huge difference in taste.
● Turn the heat off and add in the spring onions and parsley. Stir well and fellah köfte is ready to take you up to the clouds. Don’t forget to squeeze some fresh lemon juice just before eating.
● You can serve the dish as it is or there are different serving options for this beauty. It can be served on top of garlic yoghurt or add some purslane in the yoghurt and put some minced meat on top and it is a feast on its own.

Is nobody going to talk about that 503,000 subscribers?!!!! I love thinking about the half-million of us worldwide collectively sharing your magic each week. Congratulations, and thanks for the always excellent videos! Most of us are here for the joy you and your team bring to us through our screens every week. Happy Ramadan from New Mexico.
Hey, I’m in New Mexico, too.
Thank you for your kind words! Happy Ramadan to all of us ☺️
She has also 2,25M subscribers on her Turkish TH-cam channel named Refika’nın Mutfağı. Of course the language is Turkish there. And there are lots of recipes on that channel, too. Refika is so sweet and sincere person, so I love her and believe her recipes will be the best.
That's A LOT of us greedy people around the world! 🍳 🍲

I am not Muslim but I too offer my blessings to those who show devotion to God during Ramadan. As a Christian I fast once monthly more if I feel a blessing is needed in my life or community. What a beautiful crew you have. As always I want to be in your kitchen and want your knife. I do have bulgur I ordered for another of your recipes so I’m ready to go on this.
I appreciate your feeling while some Muslim feel shameful of involve them with Islam
@@wazyadah Salaam alaykum
😍👍
What an utter drip you are.
Refika I AM ADDICTED to your recipes. It is Ramadhan and I will make this tonight for Iftar as an additionnal vegetarian side dish. MERCI BEAUCOUP ❤🇩🇿🇨🇦
I cracked when I see the notification "Vegan Balls" 😃. Jokes aside, that is a really good Turkish dish with very tasty soupy sauce.
Jeez I never thought like this until seeing this now 🥲
Oh, nice. There's a vegetarian playlist. Nice. Very appreciated.
This looks so good!! I’m vegan and I really appreciate the vegan recipes you’ve been posting! (Even though I still watch all of your videos for your personality and for inspiration haha)
Very well said, quality videos and this one is up there with the best in giving inspiration!
I am vegan too but modify the recipe into vegan. Depends what part of country you live it easy or hard to find vegan substitute ingredients.
Agreed! Sadly I can't tolerate gluten so these are out for me.
+1
I’m in Canada and there are so many vegan “meat” substitutes nowadays. Yves used to offer a souvlaki that was amazing but stopped producing. I veganize everything. Good to know there’s more of us celebrating this lifestyle.
So interesting! In Mexico you can find a dumpling with the exact shape of the fellah kofte, made with corn meal. In the Oaxaca region they are called chochoyotes/chochoyones. The cooking technique is pretty much the same (added to broth/sauce/stew), just a completely different flavor profile.
I would like to try those too. Would you be kind to recommend a good recipe for it?
That sounds great. I love this one but i am gluten intolerant. I would love a corn recipe
@@majdavojnikovic Here is a soup recipe, from Patti Jinich. She explains really well. The dumpling making starts at 2:30. th-cam.com/video/tL3Nk6Bq_LY/w-d-xo.html
Correction: try to avoid rolling boil. Some people add fat to the basic recipe, it’s tricky. A little bit of cheese is a good binder - depends on whether you want to keep it vegan.
@@markarbar2226 What is rolling boil?
Am sending this video to my vegetarian daughter.
You aren’t Human if you don’t love Cumin…❤️Thank you for sharing. Beautiful teamwork.
I just finished making this, and it’s amaaaaazing and so flavorful and bright! I didn’t have the fine yellow bulgur, but I had some medium coarse brown bulgur, so I blended it smaller in my food processor. Used fresh cilantro because I didn’t have parsley at home. And I added some delicious Turkish Aleppo pepper flakes for a little more heat. And it still came together beautifully ✨💖🥰. You have to make this recipe 🌸!
The walnuts add such an beautiful texture to each bite too! Don’t skip it if you can :)
Hello, Refika, my name is Kremena from Bulgaria. I am a vegetarian and enjoy your vegetable recipes. This one in particular is very interesting and will diversify the menu at home. Thanks!
That Will Smith cameo and reference to Mind your Language, the sexy man smelling parsley!Hilarious 🤣
Your videos are as informative as they are fun...and the Vegan Kofta look way too good! xo
Ramadan kareem
Hey rafika ,why not you can start an episode series only on Kofta's of different parts of turkey....will love to see different kofta/kebab
Your recipes are amazing!! I love your inclusiveness when it comes to vegan and vegetarian foods. Your channel not only shows recipes but also teaches about the realities of the kitchen. Keep doing what you do! Love from Bulgaria!
Greetings from a German vegetarian.Thank you for this recipe 🙏
That looks heavenly....
I'm so jealous of the people who got chance to test it....
Ma’am! So many of your recipes are now favorites in my house. Thank you for saving me money on buying hummus too 🥰
In my region we simply call this "bulgur köftesi" or "sarımsaklı bulgur köftesi" (sarımsaklı meaning "with garlic/garlicky") and trust me guys, it is much more delicious than you can imagine 😋
I’m trying her recipe with added garlic thanks to this comment.
We also call it Tekrucet
We call it cincin!
Recipe please 🙏
Looks delicious. Central Americans make the little dumplings that look exactly like the ones you made but from corn masa and cheese which are then fried. And are then added to a vegetable soup of carrots and potato’s. It’s called capirotada soup. Very delicious, too. 🌹
Your choices for interstitials crack me up, especially the timely Will Smith one. And also I am hungry now.
Yum. I would add fresh mint, too.
Refika ur celebrating Ramadhan, me too I'm from Singapore, I luv Turkey n planning to travel there, I luv the cheeses, pots n pans, plates, carousel n the knives too
I love this channel, thank you for all your recipes! I am Armenian and I miss my mothers cooking. Love to meet you one day.
Mmm.. im so hungry now🤤 everytime i watch your videos i ask my husband when we will move to istanbul specifically in your neighbourhood 😆😂 all i get is silence😐
I love your videos and your recepies. Few weeks ago we had guests from Turkish school (Erasmus project, teachers and pupils) and they were very happy when I told them, that I watch your programmes and try to cook your dishes. ;) Btw I am from Poland:)
Discovered your channel and love your content. I have watched a lot of videos in the past couple of week and looking forward to making a few of your recipes. There is a Turkish store in the area (Texas) will grab some authentic goodies from there.
Cumin is the best!
Omg Refika you are killing me, i wish there were restaurants selling fellah kofte!! It is really something unique and extremely good tasting, i have to go buy ingredients and try your recipe now, there is just no alternative expect dying from slobbering ofc😂😂
Thank you so much for your Turkish cooking channel in English. I am American living in alanya married to a Turk. We love to watch you on tv. Now I can get your recipes in English. Big fan thank you so much!

SENIN BÖYLE MÜKEMMEL İNGİLİZCE KONUŞTUĞUNU BU ZAMANA KADAR NASIL BİLMİYORDUMM Harikasın refika daha çok vegan tarüf
I see you’ve seen our Academy Awards. Shameful isn’t it? This looks delicious, can’t wait to make it! 🇺🇸♥️🇹🇷
We do have different varieties of kebabs and koftas in Pakistan but I will definitely try these out with curry and some Pakistani spices. Sending love from Pakistan 🇵🇰
Ok Rafika, I just got done making this. I’d have loved your crew to help my roll them out. My kitchen smells amazing and even though I have an autoimmune disease that won’t allow me to have wheat I have a small bit and think when my family arrives for dinner they will enjoy with a side salad. Thank you.
refikaaa ingiliş kanalını da izliyorum çünkü çok tatlısınnn
I love turkish kitchen ❤
How come I open a new tab and loose myself in your recipes, while all my term notes keep looking into my eyes on the side. Salutations de France!! Joyeux Ramadan à vous!!
In Latin America we would deffinetly pair it up with white rice and leave it move juicy so the rice absorbs the sauce.... Yummy recipe
The pestle and mortar is so so cute 🥰
Congrats on the 508k subscribers! Ramadan Kareem and best wishes to you, your team and your family!
Refika, you inspire me to go beyond my cooking comfort zone! I will try this as soon as I find pepper paste. Sending you many blessings from Washington DC!
Thank you so much Refika! I really like meals that are versatile. I appreciate your show very much. Love, from Texas (and also California).
We can never expect anything but the best from you Refkita!

Siz köfte haritası mı çıkardınız 😍 dünyanın en tatlı en çalışkan yemek kanalı ❤️
I've never thought of making tomato sauce adding walnuts. Thank you for such insights dear Refika.
P.s: your hair cut suits you perfectly
full of amazing info
Oh wow! wow! wow! Ramadan Kareem beautiful people!
Just watched your Adana kebab recipe but nowhere to leave a comment.😔
Love this recipe too...I have vegetarians in the family....I will try this.
I love all your vegetarian recipes
ilk defa ingilizce yayınıniza denk geliyorum, bunu öğrenmem çok iyi oldu pek çok arkadaşım türk yemeklerini merak ediyor, artık sizi önerebilirim Kanada'dan sevgiler! :)
Congrats. Thanks for remembering us vegans.
Love your videos. Hopefully one day will visit turkey
👍 Try videos before 3-5 years ago.. Travelling through Turkey and presentation of traditional meals through regions and cities 😍beautiful way of introducing before you travel... 🤗🍀💕💞
Love love love your love and joy of cooking and your wicked sense of humour. :-) Im a fan
Ramadan Mubarak to all of you from India ! This is a really superb Kofte dish & Bulgar is such an under used grain which is super delicious & healthy too.
I love those bulgur köfte in many variations I experimented a lot with it. I came up with a variation that I call "Foelafel", I tried to simply deep fry some of those köfte balls and was surprised how good and crisp they became and because I'm lazy I used my Falafel forming tool to make little pucks it's way more practical and I use those like Falafel as fingerfood snack with any dip and/or salad you want or in a wrap.
This is mouth watering and it's vegan. I will definitely try to make this one. Thanks Refika and everyone on your team! ❤️ 🧡💛 Love seeing everyone enjoying the meal after the videos.
Ps: you need to knead more with brown bulgur, it doesn’t come together easily. I would suggest regular bulgur for the first time triers. My littel secret for the sause is adding “pomegranate sour(nar eksisi )” in it, sour&sweet base of this traditional sause gives a great texture , taste and still keeps it vegan 🌱
Love the recipe!!! Thankyou.❤️
Definitely trying
Beautiful as always ❤
Nice👍👏😊
This looks delicious. Can't wait to try it.
So So So Delicious Looking Koftas..😛YUMm
That recipe looks amazing!!!!!
Another great recipe. My husband says they would be good served in lettuce leaves. I garnished with cilantro.
