On this week's episode we're doing something a little different and will be cooking together, live and making a childhood favorite, Turkish leek fritters.
A simple recipe and utterly delicious with fresh lemon juice and cool yogurt.
Recipe: (Turkish) Leek Patties called Keftikas or Keftes
Ingredients:
Grapeseed oil
2 large leeks, chopped and cleaned
3 eggs, whisked
Salt and pepper
1/2 teaspoon ground turmeric
1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
Chives, chopped
Fresh thyme leaves, chopped
Zest of 1 lemon
Saute leeks in oil over medium heat until soft, about 5 minutes. Let cool slightly.
In another bowl, whisk together eggs, spices and herbs and add cooked leeks.
Give everything a good stir and fry a spoonful of the mixture until golden brown, about 4 minutes per side. Repeat with the rest of the mixture.
Once done, remove to a paper towel lined baking sheet and serve with lemon juice and yogurt.
