A tasty and simple middle-eastern meatball. Contrary to popular belief, meatballs are not only an Italian dish. Throughout history, many nations and cultures have laid claim on the humble meatball. The meatball now has many variations which accommodate different tastes, ingredients, and even religious traditions.

Meatballs have been found in many parts of the world. In Asian, Middle Eastern and North African cooking the kofta is found in rissoles, croquettes, and dumplings, where they are made of ground or mashed meat, which is mixed with ingredients such as rice, bulgur or vegetables. In India, koftas can be made with fish, or even without meat, using only veggies. Kofta may also have a spicy filling and contain nuts, cheeses, or egg.

And Turkey boasts of over 80 types of meatballs, each type made just a bit differently according to its region of origin!
