ICLI KÖFTE (Turkish filled meatballs)

Ingredients:
*For filling:
- 150 g ground beef
- 1 onion, finely chopped
- 1/3 cup ground walnut halves or shelled pistachios
- ½ tsp salt
- ½ tsp black pepper
- ½ tsp paprika
- ½ tsp chili flakes

- ½ tsp black pepper
- ½ tsp salt
- ¼ cup boiled and mashed potato
- 1 large egg, beaten

*For frying: sunflower or other light oil

Directions:
1) In a small skillet, fry ground beef until just cooked. Add the onion and continue to stir until the onion softens
2) Add the ground nuts, salt, black pepper, paprika, and chili flakes and continue to sauté. When all the flavors have combined, remove the pan from the heat and let it rest
3) In a large mixing bowl, combine bulgur, ground beef, black pepper, salt, potato, egg knead together for several minutes to form a dough for the case
4) Break off walnut-size pieces of the dough and roll them into balls. With your index finger, push some of the meat and nut filling into the center of the dough and close the end. Shape the meatballs to be narrower at the ends and thicker in the middle in a kind of spindle shape
