- Spring is finally here. It is the ideal time for outdoor activities picnics and gatherings. Almost every culture has a celebrated barbeque-like tradition where large masses of people get together and dine outside enjoying each other's company. Turkish barbeque tradition is called Mangal. Even though it seems like the star of the show here is always some type of meat we didn't forget about our vegetarian and vegan friends here. We have a delicious grilled veggie salad recipe for you guys as well. As descendants of kebap culture our style barbeque has influences from Turkish kebaps in the form of marinades for our chicken and şiş kebaps and spices used in our classic meatball’s recipe. We are quite proud of our Mangal and if you give it a try our way, we are sure you would not regret it. So, let's barbeque! Get together with our friends and family and enjoy these yummy recipes together. Afiyet olsun!

Chicken
1 kg chicken, wing and boneless thigh mixed
6 cloves of garlic, pureed
1.5 teaspoons of tomato paste, alternatively add some tomato puree
1 teaspoon of red pepper paste, alternatively add red pepper or sriracha sauce
¾ cup of kefir
1,5 teaspoons of cumin
1 teaspoon red pepper flake
1.5 teaspoons of black pepper
1 teaspoon of salt
3-4 sprigs of fresh thyme
2 pinches of sugar, alternatively 1 tablespoon molasses
Lavash
● Mix the tomato and the red pepper paste in a bowl.
● Add the garlic puree, kefir. Kefir not only adds an incredible flavor when marinating the chicken and meat, but also works very well because it is acidic and probiotic if you don't have much time.
● Season with cumin, red pepper flakes, black pepper, salt, fresh thyme and sugar and give it a nice toss.
● Coat the chicken with the marinade and let it sit at least for four hours better if it waits overnight.
● Then place the chicken on the barbecue. Flip when one side starts to turn brown. Try not to turn the meat before getting good grill marks.
● Before you take it from the barbecue, put lavash on them and both warm the lavash and absorb the delicious oil and water that will drip onto the barbecue into your bread.
● Your little feast is ready when you place the cooked chicken like Turkish delight on the lavash
Köfte
500 gr minced meat (you can use beef, lamb or mutton, whichever you like is fine)
1 large onion, halved
8 handfuls of breadcrumbs, crusts removed, (alternatively, 8 slices of bread works great as well)
1 teaspoon baking soda or baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
2 teaspoon butter (skip butter if your meat is fatty)
To garnish:
Tomato, halved
Green pepper
Onion, halved
● To prepare the köfte, add the breadcrumbs or slices and onion in a food processor and pulse for 30 seconds.
● Add in the minced meat, baking soda, butter, salt and black pepper. Continue to pulse until it becomes a paste.
● Wet your hands and shape the mixture into flat round patties. Press your fingers on each patty to increase the surface area. More surface area means more Maillard reaction, and it means more flavour!
● Heat a cast iron pan and place six patties in it and cook on medium heat.
● Flip every Köfte several times while cooking. Add the tomatoes and peppers into the pan.
● While they are cooking mix the butter with hot water and score the flat bread.
● Remove the köfte from heat and pour the half of the water and butter mixture in the pan. Right after, put in the bread as well. This way, bread will soak up the all the flavours and become more and more tasty. Repeat the same for the other patties.
● Place the bread in a dish and serve the köfte on it. Enjoy your amazing köfte with pickles or yogurt.
Turkish Lamb Shish Kebab
500 g lamb loin, cut into cubes
250-300 g tail fat, cut into cubes
1 onion, pureed
3 tablespoons of kefir, alternatively use yoghurt or milk
1 teaspoon of salt
½ teaspoon of red pepper flakes
½ teaspoon oregano
To garnish,
Tomato
Green pepper
Onion
● To make the marinade, sieve the onion on the meat to use its juice.
● Add the kefir, salt, red pepper flakes and oregano and let it sit for at least two hours or overnight.
● Thread your lamb pieces and tail fat cubes one by one onto the skewers.
● Now, it is grilling time. Grill your shish kebab for about 12-13 minutes, cook each side.
● Then, place cooked skewers onto a serving dish with garnishes and serve hot. - Zábava
When Turkish cooks talk about Bbq, its time to take notes.
YASSSS!
Deam true
you're goddamn right.
Lebanese cuisine also has a lot of kebab recipes. They’re famous for it. They call it “meshoui”.
I'm across the world in San Diego, California, and Refika is a light of positivity that shines bright all the way to here. ❤️ Thank you for the love, the recipes and the poetry!
🙏🏼💜🌈
I want lıve in america can you help me
@@mervedemirci4730😂 kızım kendini düşürme bu kadar bende Cape May Us de yaşıyorum buraya gelmen ancak k1 nişanlı vize yada evlilik vizesi ile mümkün. Genç olsam seni alırdım 58 😅
Ah that poem at the end. I shed a tear. What a great way for Andrew to process everything that happened to him as a nurse during the pandemic. It's also a great way for us to understand what it was really like for our amazing healthcare workers.
Refika gives so much more than recipes...her talent, generosity and multi-cultural sharing is the best of humanity.
Turkey is so far away but you make it feel like we are neighbors. Thank you for sharing these amazing recipes and tips!
Hi Rafika, I just want to thank you for your cooking tips as always and for reading my poem on your show. I’m truly humbled.
Andrew
(ps like Rumi I’m really quite a silent guy 😉)
Refika, thank you for mentioning us in your programme. Andrew and I were totally shocked when we saw the video yesterday. We love your food and have tried many of your recipes, we've even made humus the way you suggest when we visited our friends in England, Norway and Macedonia. And I love your knife, Andrew got it for me for Christmas.
Continue making wonderful programs and sharing your love for this is why you are on this Earth.
Best regards to you and your team,
Maja
So happy I came across your videos!
Tomorrow will cook for Bayram,my husband is turkish and we always cook and gather with friends

That's a brilliant video. Roll on BBQ weather so I can try out these recipes
One of your best videos recently! So good! The only thing im missing is how to build up the mangal
Oh my gosh! I made your kofte recipe and it really was the very best, very softest meatball I have ever had. We could not stop eating them. I made a sauce of yogurt, feta, lemon juice and dill that I whipped in the blender until smooth. My man loved this meal so much. Your veggies are spot on with the marinade and dressing too! Love your flavors. Thank you for teaching me how to make delicious Turkish food!!
Watching from USA wishing you all EId Mubarak.
I love watching your cooking, bought the red pepper flakes so doing many of your lovely recipes. You have inspired me so much that I have booked a tour of Turkey in Sept this year, starting in Istanbul.
Thank you Master Rafika for all tricks to doing BBQ rabi yahfdek mashaalah , with all my regards from Algeria.
I always enjoy your videos. I don't why but I do. I think it is you and your crews open and smiling personalities. May Yeshua bless you, your crew and all of the Turkish people during this time of recession. Inshallah!
OMG😃 I am doing an Australian Christmas lunch with your Turkish bbq ideas. I have been watching you for over a year now.. I Love your energy and your compassion and your crew are so gorgeous as well. My In-laws are Greek so I’m thinking they will be very impressed with my Christmas lunch. Every time you say “ Guys, when you come to Istanbul come and see us and we will take you to this kebab place” ( last video that I watched) , I just want to jump on a plane and come to see you guys😂 Merry Christmas and to all your crew and keep doing what you do, don’t change your as you get more. I also love the “ Alex” video. I couldn’t stop laughing every time you fed him and hugged him, you looked so infatuated , very cute to see❤️❤️
I say, Turkish BBQ next week here in the Netherlands. Ty so much for this ;)

Amazing energy... Eid mubarek to the entire team. Love from India.
Love your work, ma’am. Thank you for what you do! Christopher in Iowa.
The only bad thing about this video is that the food looks too good and delishous, so makes you want to immediately eat.
Ameen ameen! So difficult to cook all of that and be soooo hungry and have to wait for iftar! MaashaaAllah Ramadhan mubarak!
If I had a magical ability to fly through the internet, I'd want to arrive at your table to share these beautiful foods! Thank you, Refika! =]

I love this channel! Refika, thank you for teaching your techniques and tricks for cooking wonderful meals. I have incorporated the grated onion into many recipes and it has improved the overall taste of the dish. I even bought a copper pan to have more control of temperature on some dishes . Please keep creating! I need my Refika, and Bahar weekly fix.
Refika, you always bring peace and joy to my heart. I really appreciate your thoughts, and I will be sharing your light in the form of a backyard barbeque with my friends and family. Afiyet olsun.
