Peter- You’re right, the pizza like thing is called lahmacun. And I have a recipe of small version of lahmacun here. http://www.giverecipe.com/lahmacun.html

The dish made by your friend’s wife must have been icli kofte if the filling is similar too. Turkish cuisine contains millions of various dishes, so it may be a different dish as well. Even all cities in our country have special dishes, so it may be another regional food. But with bulgur crust and walnut&mince filling, it is most probably this icli kofte. I highly recommend you to try this one even if it is not the same with what your friend’s wife made. It is incredibly tasty! I will be glad to hear the result.

@Aminah, the pizza like thing you are reffering to sounds like Lacamacun (sorry about the spelling).

I just wanted to ask a question Zellin. A friend of mines wife made something similar to this a while back, I haven’t had a chance to talk to her as they don’t live locally.

But I’m sure her crust/shell/dough contained whole bulgurwheats, is that a different dish or just another regional way of preparing this dish? I loved it and after some googling I think I figured out that icli kofte was what she had prepared. However, looking at both the video and reading the ingridients I’m just no sure.

Either way I’m definetely trying this recipe out, looks and sounds delivious.

Hello Zerrin
I visited Turkey and it was very beautiful country tried many different food there I am from USA and I married a Turkish man I love this icli kofte and iskender the most I had something that was like pizza but not if you could help me with fining out what this is and have a recipe for it that would be great… and a recipe for iskender. I have found one but it wasn’t like what I had in Adana. My husband is currently in a different country working, while we work on his immigration papers. :S His family don’t speak in English so I am a little lost in sharing my Turkish experiences with my family here. Thanks for this recipe on icli kofte.. it was so great to have it again

Yasmin- Happy to hear the video and recipe helped you and everyone at your home loved it. And also thank you for letting me know this.If your mother-in-law loves it and says masallah, it means you are absolutely so successful as Turkish mother-in-laws can’t easily love a dish made by their daughter-in-laws

Not everyone knows ‘analı kızlı’ (soup with mother and daughter), Are you living around Adana, which is famous for this soup? Another famous soup in Adana is ‘yüksük corbasi’ (thimble soup) and you can also find a video of its recipe in my blog. You can surprise your family with this soup, too.

If you have any questions about Turkish dishes, feel free to ask me.

Hello Zerrin

I just wanted to thank you so much for the içli köfte recipe. I’m originally from the dominican republic. I have no idea of how to make any turkish dishes, and my turkish is terrible . I corrently live in turkey with my husband who is turkish and my 16 months old baby. I wanted to make somethıng special for them, so I said to my self why not try something that they really like?
I have tried to make içli köfte before and it was a pure disaster, but thanks to you and this fabulous recipe I am a hit in my house. The video is the cherry on top of the ice cream! The instructions are easy to follow to the point that I made them exactly how you showed on the video, and I only saw the video once. My mother in law just said masalah :p
she really like them. Now we are planning to make ‘mother nad daughter soup’ lets see hoe that comes out..

Any ways thanks againg
