Turkish kofta
Description
Perfect for lunch. Preparing Turkish kofta at home is not easy. First, you need to soak the peas in advance. Once that's done, you can start making the broth, into which we later add the peas. Sear the meat and add it to the broth. Do the same with the remaining ingredients, except for the fruits, potatoes, and herbs. The final step is adding pomegranate juice. Serve the soup hot.
