Recipe Summary
Ingredients
Directions
Make Ahead
The uncooked köfte can be refrigerated overnight.
Suggested Pairing
Much like hamburgers, köfte pair well with a robust, fruity red. The lamb in these köfte suggests Syrah—its gamey notes go well with Syrah's pepperiness. California's Central Coast has become America's go-to region for this French Rhône grape variety.
