| Köfte |
Well, Spring has arrived but the cold weather has lingered a little longer than expected here in Alabama. It was really cold a couple of nights ago and I wanted to make some good old comfort food. What better to satisfy than some Köfte and potatoes hot out of the oven. Of course as usual, I had some garlic yogurt handy for mine! Afiyet Olsun!
