Bosnia Main – Vegetarian Ćufte

Bosnia and Herzegovina are well-known for their meatballs (or Ćufte), so naturally we had to find a vegetarian version. Luckily, Food had the perfect recipe. In order to create a similar taste and texture, a lot of ingredients were required.

Although it looks like a lot, once everything was chopped, diced or grated, the process of combining the meatball ingredients together was very easy! It did mean the meatballs were pretty and colourful too.

Once the mixture had been rolled into a ball shape, they were cooked in the oven while the yoghurt sauce was made.

The sauce was a simple mixture of yoghurt, eggs, dill and caraway seeds, all gently cooked on the hob until it went thick.

The finished product was absolutely delicious, even if there was a lot of prep work! If we made these again we would make the meatballs slightly smaller to make them a little less stodgy overall.

Let us know if you give these a try!
