Mercimekli Kofte is a tasty turkish appetizer made with red lentils and bulgur. Mercimek Köftesi is a popular finger food, often served with lettuce leaves, lemon juice or pomegranate molasses.
For this simple and delicious recipe, red lentils are first boiled in water until very soft. The lentil mash is then refined with a tomato sauce, spring onions, herbs and spices and shaped into either balls or patties.
Since lentils can burn very quickly, you should keep an eye on the cooking process. You can also cook the lentils in the microwave until soft.
Depending on how soft you want your kofta to be, you can use a few more tablespoons of water if necessary.
