Thanks! I make the lentil and bulgur Köfte a lot. They're so easy and delicious.

My local store sells cig köfte (pardon the spelling, my keyboard doesn't support some special characters) cheap. I thought about making some but I was told that it involved a lot of kneading and it's hard to make. Kinda disappointed that I didn't try the local ones in Istanbul.

I'm guessing homemade is a lot better than store-bought?

Çiğ köfte are a bit different and I rarely bother making them because I'm not a fan of kneading either lol. These lentil köfte are so much easier. No kneading at all.

This looks out of control good! Thanks for sharing with us!!

[-] Doublepluskirk@startrek.website 5 points 1 year ago

Thanks. I'll be honest it's the nicest looking food I've ever prepared. Most of my food ends up as tasty slop! 😆

The stuff in the blue bowl looks a lot like muhammara. Either way, looks delicious.

[-] Doublepluskirk@startrek.website 2 points 1 year ago

Yes. Same thing, different name!

[-] IoSapsai@lemm.ee 4 points 1 year ago

That's no meze, that's a feast!

[-] grue@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

You were so close...

That's no meze, it's a feast station!

[-] Lokisan@lemmy.zip 4 points 1 year ago

Oh woah! How can I replicate this? Any recipes?

[-] Doublepluskirk@startrek.website 8 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Admittedly it took a while to make everything, but i ate for days 😆. Mercimek Köftesi, Msabbaha (this is so similar to humus just a different texture, you could use whatever humus recipe you prefer and add dried fruits), Mutabbal, Kısır, Açuka (this is great just on toast), Ezme salad

Edit: bloody hell, LiftOff did not make that easy...

[-] Lokisan@lemmy.zip 3 points 1 year ago

Thank you very much. This is perfect to share with friends and I love mediterranean food.

As for lemmy app, I'll suggest you try Voyager or Thunder. Both are FOSS and have VERY good UI.

[-] Doublepluskirk@startrek.website 1 points 1 year ago

Thanks. I'll check them out. I initially tried Jerboa but found it lacking

[-] JoYo@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 year ago

I'd eat each one of those as a meal on its own. I probably have already.

[-] Doublepluskirk@startrek.website 1 points 1 year ago

I feel you. I too have portion control problems 😆.

[-] NuPNuA@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago

That looks so good right now, I want a Dolma well bad.

Come join the Vegan Home Cooks!

Participation is really easy, just take a picture of what you cooked today and post it, no recipes needed.


This is a public forum for a discord server of friends who are all vegans and cook at home for their families.

We are here to share some inspiration, to see what others are doing and to stay engaged in something that is both our hobby and a required task.

This forum is not a "food porn" community, a recipe book or a place to teach you how to cook. It is a place for people who already cook to meet other people like themselves and provide on topic support and conversation as much as long distance friends on the internet can do. We are doing show and tell about what we made and we don't care about its instagram worthiness.

Veganism isn’t a diet but I have to eat every day. This is for the vegan home cooks. Anything non vegan will be deleted.


Rules

1. Be Vegan.

If it is not vegan it doesn’t belong here… or anywhere.

2. Post home cooking.

No restaurant or fast food. This is what every other vegan space is about and we don’t want to promote any large or small business tyrants.

3. Join the Discord

We’re an active community of vegan home cooks that like to talk about what we are cooking today.

4. Do not make any rude comments or digs at anyone’s food, cooking style, specific diet, restrictions or technique.

While we are all cooks, we all have different requirements and we’re not asking for help, we are doing show and tell.

5. Do not use trademarked brands

Use generic names. We’re cooking with tvp not whatever business brands it and we’re not trying to turn comrades into billboards. No plant-based vegan-pandering capitalist crap like Impossible, Beyond, Dairy-company owned “vegan” cheese.

6. Do not ask for a recipe without otherwise engaging the OP (No posts that are just “recipe?”)

We are not food bloggers. Sometimes we're excited to share and will tell you the recipes we used but this isn't required. Instead try doing your own research and tell us what you learned and we can talk about it.

7. Careful with making unasked for suggestions.

Sometimes we like to hear suggestions but you should be nice about it and know the person you are making suggestions to. We are in the discord and you can get to know us that way. If you are just a visitor from the fediverse, this isn’t the place for you to start telling other people what to do.

8. Adults Only.

While this isn't a community for adult material we expect everyone who participates to be an adult. If you have a gross and profane username you will be removed.
