- Опубліковано 8 лип 2024
- For the new year I wanted to make a vegetarian treat with every detail on how to make a perfect creamy basil hummus together with one of my inventions EATBALL, which can be a great replacement for falafel 😍 It is much easier to make and maybe even tastier than falafel! When these two beauties come together, it's a great way to start a year with full of goodness!

EATBALLS
Servings: 6-8
Difficulty: Easy
Prep time: 15 minutes
Cooking time: 10 minutes
1 large onion, roughly chopped
400 g canned chickpeas, to peel of the skins easily, see the hummus recipe below
4 cloves garlic
1/2 bunch parsley, roughly chopped
1/4 bunch dill, roughly chopped
2 eggs
3 tablespoons breadcrumbs, + 1/2 cup for coating
1 tablespoon flour
1 teaspoon black pepper
3 teaspoons cumin
1 heaped teaspoon salt
1 heaped tablespoon red pepper paste, salsa sauce would do good as well
125 g halloumi, diced
Sweet chili sauce
Sunflower or any frying oil
• Put the canned chickpeas in the food processor with the garlic and onion. Blitz them, leaving large chunks. Add in the parsley and dill, pulse for another 5-10 seconds.
• Then, add the red pepper paste, eggs, cumin, black pepper, salt, 3 tablespoons bread crumb and flour respectively to the mixture. Knead it for 2-3 minutes, till it reaches to a meatball consistency. Finally, add the halloumi. The consistency should be sloppier than that of meatball.
• Let it sit for 15 minutes if you have time.
• Pour the half cup of dry bread crumb to a plate. Coat the hand-shaped meatballs with the flour. When every part of the meatballs is covered with the bread crumb, put them to a side. At this stage, you should be gentle with the meatballs, as they may fall apart easily.
• Pour frying oil with a depth of 2 fingers in a large frying pan and fry the eat balls in two batches when the oil is hot.
• Transfer them on a sieve to drain excess oil when they turned into brown.
• Serve and enjoy with creamy basil hummus and sweet chili sauce.
Creamy Basil Hummus
Servings: 6-8
Difficulty: Easy
Prep time: 10 minutes
Cooking time: -
2 small bunches of basil
1 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons olive oil
400 g canned chickpeas
2 cloves of garlic
6 tablespoons tahini
1 lemon, use half if it’s a large one
8-10 Ice cubes
To garnish,
Olive oil
Red pepper flakes
Peanut
Fresh basil leaves
• To achieve the perfect creamy texture for hummus, you need to peel the chickpeas. This might sound like a lot of work, but I have a brilliant shortcut for that! Pour the chickpeas in a salad spinner and fill with water. Slightly rub the chickpeas. The skins will pop up to the surface and when you push the basket up and down, the skins will group on the surface of the water, and it will be easier to collect them. If you don’t have a salad spinner, pour the chickpeas in a large bowl, and rub them under running water. The running water will also help the skins to group.
• Beat the basil with the salt using a pestle and mortar. This will ensure all green juice and oil of basil to come out. If you don’t have pestle and mortar, you can use a plastic bag to beat the basil in it.
• Pour the olive oil in the mortar to collect all the flavour easier and transfer it into food processor. You might say, what if I use the processor for beating the basil but believe me pestle and mortar always makes a greener hummus.
• Put the chickpeas, tahini and garlic in the food processor. Squeeze the lemon juice and pulse until the texture becomes silky and creamy for about 10 minutes. Adding ice cubes while running the processor will prevent heating and help the smoothness. You can add up to 8-10 cubes depending on your processor’s performance. Taste and add more salt, tahini or lemon if needed.
• Transfer the hummus to a wide dish and make a crater with the back of a spoon.
• Drizzle some olive oil and top with red pepper, fresh basil leaves and peanut. Creamy, green basil hummus is ready.

What an amazing racipe, an explosion of flavours! I just made it and it blew my mind.
Oooo so soo happy 👍😘
I have to say Refika is the most lovely cooking host I've ever seen before! I totally admire her passion and style. You can taste the love for food, Turkey and family tradition. Is a great example for everyone. I'm Latino, living in Germany and definitely will try to meet such inspiring woman!
And she is so kind to her coworkers and always very positive and happy!!!😊
I agree with you
Forty rules of love is a masterpiece, my no.1 book... I haven't read a book that is even closer to the level of FROL.
Falafel and humus is a bomb combo 😍 glad that I gotta taste it in Istanbul 😋
Thank you for the lovely messages, they meant a lot to me.
So glad to share them with you ❤️🙏
BUON NATALE, guys! Thank you for sharing your recipes and knowledge with the world. Hope all on your crew are happy and healthy. Much love to you all!
You have no idea how happy you made me with your beautiful opening statement which is totally correct. I also love the recipes. So good to be a part of this family. 🥰
I agree! It was a profoundly beautiful statement
I too love connecting with countless others around the globe via Refika's Kitchen! It feels like we're all sitting down together to share a meal. Greetings from London! 👋
thank you soo soo much ❤️🙏 so glad to have you as a family!
thank you so much... really did made my day hearing this...
@@Refika I love you i love the way you talk you cook i want to be in your kitchen team 😅all your team is amazing love you all when they all eat you dishes i feel jealous😅
Love from Pakistan❤️❤️
Thank you for the spiritual parts, I truly appreciate this. The advice about keeping the food processor on while adding an ice cube every few minutes is mind blowing. I have been making hummus for years, and this makes me stop and think!
This content deserves more views
Thank you so much for everything you have shared with us this year. I heard about the horrible inflation in Turkey on the news this week. I hope all of you and yours will get through the current crisis and that the New Year will bring you much love, joy, and peace!
Love how you try to bring food & values of humanity together. The food looks yummy & the quotes you read out were 👌Sending lots of love from India. We all will have an amazing 2022🎉👼❤️
I love how you are so conscious of the impact of what we do, what we eat and how we eat. Thanks for these very valuable tips that go beyond a simple recipe.
I'm so glad!
I just love your approach to life: cooking at home, sharing, never waste anything. I live like this in Canada. People think I am nuts. I am Polish. After 30 years we are moving back home where we eat what we grow. All the best to you. M
Thank you so much for the vegetarian inspiration. I will veganize it by using aquafaba instead of eggs.... Love ❤ from South Africa 🇿🇦
I got hooked on your videos and recipes, Refika. I'm not a veggie, but absolutely opened for a more plant based diet, for which your kitchen gives very inspirative and helpful recipes and ideas. And I also like your attitude to save as much food as you can, and not throw them away. And last, but not least, thanks for your sense of humor which makes the videos soooo amusing! Greetings from Hungary!
Thanks for being so conscious of life, in a time where people have forgotten what really matters, treating eachother with love and respect. It's the little things that makes a difference, don't ever stop spreading love, we need it more than ever, to me food is about love n family, from Canada, Debbie.
Ülkemizi böyle güzel bir şekilde tanıttığın için seninle gurur duyuyorum. Sen ve ekibin harika. Basarilarin daim olsun.Seni seviyoruz Refika.😊🤗😘
Yet she is cooking arabic food
❤️🙏
Hi Refika, greetings from Australia! Thank you for keeping me company and keeping up the spirit far away from home. Just ordered your book on Amazon, so it will fly to Australia too:-) Admiration for what you are doing with passion and heart.
❤️🙏
Thank you for solving my problem - "What do I make for New Years?" Looks delicious as usual.
You are so welcome! Happy new years!
Forty rules of love is legit one of the best books in the world.
I’m praying for Turkey and it’s people.
I love all your videos, but this one was extra special! I love all the beautiful quotes from the book and I love how you believe that love is transferred into foods from your hands. I feel the same way. And I'm so stoked you made a recipe for vegetarians. I have been a vegetarian for 40 years now. This recipe can be gluten-free, if you use a gluten-free flour blend, and gluten-free breadcrumbs, easily available, at least in the US. Thank you so much. I'm sending all my best wishes to you and your team and your family for a Happy New Year!!! 😊
Wherever we may come, we are all made in the one liking of God! You name The Almighty you want. But besides it all, you have been a spiritual guide, a guide for the lovely food and so much more! Love you!
YOUR TEAM REALLY BRINGS THE SUNSHINE ALL OVER THE WORLD! I love seeing your group eat together as a FAMILY! THANK YOU FOR THE INSPIRATION and SHARING YOUR LOVE!! MAKES ME WANT TO GO TO YOUR COUNTRY!
Thank you so much!
Thank you for vegetarianize some of your foods. This can also be vegan. You are one of the sweetest, most honorable and caring people out there.
The 40 rules of love is one of my all time favorite books. I love that you opened with that and I love ALL of your videos. I’m lucky enough that I get to watch both the Turkish and English videos. Thank you for your knowledge and your videos.
So much love from Australia ❤️
@styletube olabilir.. onun sevgilisi beni ilgilendirmez. Elif’in yazdığı kitaplar ilgilendiriyor :)
@styletube beynim var ve kitap okumayı seven biriyim. Feto benim umurumda değil. Ayrıca belli ki senin beyinin yok çünkü şu an yok yere tanımadığın insanlarla sataşıyorsun. İyi günler!
@styletube oldu canım 👍🏼
I know what YOU are to this world and its a blessing!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
WOW it all looks SO good! You're so creative and make everything also LOOK beautiful. You are adding so much beauty to the world :-) Happy New Year!
Since we are approximately 100 days from Ramadhan, I'm thinking the Eatballs will make a great substitute for those days when meat is just too much to handle on fasting days
Oh, yes please! I will definitely purchase a signed copy, a gift to self for my B'day coming up in a few weeks time!
I too, love the connecting stories with each of your recipes, another great reason to share with all of us around the globe
Thank you so so much... I really appreciate it..
I like falafel, however, I am a cheese freak so I think I will adore this……thank you…..and I love the poetry of your friend, it brings tears to the eyes…..
We in India, many of us are vegetarians and this recipe is right on the spot......
This is falafel and hummus famous arabic/lebanese food
The two Turkish people I love are you and Elif Shafak, so, no wonder you guys are friends.
I made these "eatballs" and hummus yesterday for a dinner party we had last night and they were a HUGE hit. Everyone loved them. I made 2 kinds. One kind was exactly your recipe and the second was similar but had the addition of mint and oregano and instead of haloumi I used feta. I can't say which one was more popular as there was nothing left! Love to you Refika, and to your talented and lovely crew!!
BLOWN away
Lots of love from Canada to you and Bahar my lovely turkish sisters keep spreading the love and joy !!
Thank you now I started loving turkish kitchen.
falafel fondue style … need to think about this (fondue = preferred new year‘s eve meal). thank you for considering the vegetarians needs for this evening…. am adding lot‘s of love and content to the cauldron .. like basically every saturday around this time … take care :)
Happy new year!
Thank you 😊 And a very happy new year to Team Refika too!
Müthiş! Doğum günüm için bunu yapacak birini bulacağım (29'unda). Ayrıca vejeteryan kızıma tavsiye edeceğim!
Nice recipe... Bahar's reaction says it all.... HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE 💕 Hope 2022 is full of love, peace, happiness and comes with it's own bereket (love that word) stay safe !
Happy new year!! ❤️🙏
Loved this.
My family is totally carnivorous. So I have to constantly think of making vegetarian meals, that look and feel a bit like non vegetarian.
Tebrikler ! I remember a very interesting recipe on your channel, made by Burak Beycimiz, it was a salted cake made out of lentils (no flour). Maybe your followers would be interested by it. I made it once, and it worked very well.
I want that!
@@camouflagejumpsuit ua-cam.com/video/0hdT9KCzUGY/v-deo.html
Like the idea of putting Haloumi in the patties. Look forward to trying this.
An amazing recipe again!!! Thank you for that Refika !
Wow, this looks fantastic. Love the idea of basil in hummus. May you and all of your families have a wonderful holiday and many blessings for the new year.
Happy new year!! ❤️🙏
Refika I literally just found and subbed your channel on US New Year’s Eve. I have been thinking of trying vegetarianism in the new year so this is perfect. The falafels and hummus look absolutely amazing!! I’m making this for sure! You have such a beautiful energy as well. Happy New Year to you and the crew!
that looks so delicious!
Refika, my mum is Turkish, but i was born in England, so watching your videos helps me learn how to make the food my mum has always made, and feel closer to her culture, so thank you for everything you do.
Soooo glad to hear this! ❤️
But this food isnt Even turkish its arabic
@@lovenature1919 It is normal influence of cultural mixture 🤗🍀💕
@@sans2domicilefixroberts428 no its not. She knows thats lebanese food is popular, so we wants to cash on it.
Gosh, my mouth was literally drooling watching this. In india we make veg cutlets using beetroot, carrot, potatoes, green chilli,ginger and garlic and then fried like this. Thank you for sharing your wonderful recipes. God bless
40 rules of love is an amazing book everyone should read this book, it completely changed the perspective of my life.....
I made the meatballs today and have cooked one to taste while the rest chills in the fridge. The flavor is amazing! They remind me of a dish I had in Barcelona at a restaurant called Et tu Bola (maybe spelling it wrong). I didn't add the cheese because I have some family that try to avoid it. I also will have to wait on the basil hummus because for whatever reason I can't seem to get any fresh organic basil. Thank you so much for the videos, the recipes, techniques and sharing your Turkish culture with us!
I know the weather is crazy all over the world, but when I saw about storm hitting Istanbul I thought of you guys. Prayers that you are safe.
You add love and harmony and great food
Refika, you are amazing! Thank you for your recipes, your passion for cooking/feeding others (besides yourself) and the joy for living you convey! Blessings to you and your team!
Looks fantastic just like everything you make
Beautiful! Both your soul and the recipe!
Thank you.
I love how creative you are! It is so fun to watch your channel!
surprisingly I found your channel because I read this very book and was really reading up more about Turkey and it’s Culture and Food and im glad I did !
I love you and I loveeee Elif Shafak. Much like you, she changed my life with Bastard of Istanbul and Forty rules of love. I love her work and it's a treat to know that two of my favourite people are friends. I'm a vegetarian and I always struggle with "Eatballs" thankyou for this. ❤️
I can't wait to make this, too! This is awesome!
Thaaaaank youuu❤❤❤❤❤
That looks amazing , thank you Refika❤
A truly inspirational cook and person
I love your recipes and falafel is my favorite. Thank you!!
Thanks!
Ooooo New hummus to try!! Thank you!!
I am still experimenting with correct temperature on my electric cooktop (and with different oils for frying), but despite my shortcomings this recipe is WONDERFUL! So delicious. I'm sure with more attention to oil temp and using hazelnut oil, my efforts will be much improved. And thank you for the introduction to Elif Shafak - The Forty Rules Of Love is on my list with your help. So beautifully written!
Thank you for all the inspiration throughout the year. I have found a place that sells some Turkish foodstuffs including pepper paste, and have made several of your recipes. Your videos are uplifting and encouraging. Best wishes and Happy New Year to you and the team, Refika. Greetings from New Zealand.
Much love to New Zealand!
Thank you Rafika and team for all your hard work!! Thank you for sharing those thoughtful rules! You make my day!!! Thank you all of you guys!!! 🙏🏽🌹🌹🌹🌹
I'm loving it thank you..
I literally laughed out loud when Bahar ate her falafel, and the use of Europe’s final countdown instantly includes Bahar in my close friend group as we do the same.
I loved the recipe and the quotes/rules, inspiring in every way. Happy New Year!
Elif 's books and Refika's food makes for one happy lady !
Thank you for sharing words of wisdom from your friend. It was really warm and comforting, which is a nice feeling to get in winter!
Just when I thought your original hummus recipe was amazing, I made the basil one and now THATS my favorite! So delicious
