Turkish Kofte With Eggplant Base & Tomato Sauce



Turkish kofte with eggplant puree and tomato sauce! Kofte is basically a meatball. We use koftes in many dishes and so with the eggplants. In this version, I made an eggplant base as we say in Turkish”begendi” and place the grilled koftes on top, drizzling tomato sauce over it with grated cheese. With a final cook in the oven, it comes out delicious…

    This was delicious, thanks Aysenur! I tagged you on Instagram. The Aussie eggplants are too big I think, I could not fit more than 2 in a large prying pan to soften them. And I bought the 3 smallest ones I could find! LOL But in the end, the dish was awesome!!
