Grandpa's Traditional Turkish Topalak & Roasted Apricot Seeds | Village Life

In this delightful video, join us as Grandpa prepares a traditional Turkish dish, Sulu Köfte (Topalak), right in the heart of our village. Using his outdoor oven, Grandpa skillfully cooks this hearty meatball soup with ingredients like fine bulgur, minced beef, tomato paste, cumin, chili flakes, black pepper, salt, and water. The flavorful broth is enriched with a buttery, spiced tomato paste sauce, simmered gently over two hours on low heat.
While the delicious Topalak is cooking, Grandpa also roasts freshly shelled apricot seeds as a tasty snack and tends to our goats. He takes them for a walk in the forest, letting them graze freely. This video is a beautiful blend of traditional cooking, animal care, and the serene village lifestyle, perfect for anyone who loves culinary traditions and rural living.
What’s in the Video:
Traditional Turkish Topalak: Learn how to make Sulu Köfte, a classic Turkish meatball soup.
Roasted Apricot Seeds: Watch Grandpa roast apricot seeds on the outdoor oven.
Goat Care: See how we take care of our goats and let them graze in the forest.
Village Life: Experience the peaceful and fulfilling life in the countryside with Grandpa.
Living in a village allows us to be deeply connected to our cultural roots and the natural environment. Traditional dishes like Topalak are not just meals; they are a reflection of our heritage and the culinary wisdom passed down through generations. Each ingredient is carefully chosen and prepared, ensuring the flavors are rich and authentic.
Grandpa's method of slow-cooking the Topalak ensures that the flavors meld beautifully, creating a comforting and hearty dish. The use of fresh, local ingredients adds to the authenticity and healthfulness of the meal. The roasted apricot seeds, prepared in the same outdoor oven, provide a nutritious and tasty snack, showcasing how we utilize every part of the harvest in our cooking.
Our daily routine also involves taking care of our goats, which are an integral part of our village life. They provide us with milk, cheese, and other resources. By allowing them to graze in the forest, we ensure they get the best nutrition while maintaining a sustainable farming practice.
This video not only highlights our traditional cooking methods but also emphasizes the importance of self-sufficiency and harmony with nature. It is a testament to the beauty and simplicity of rural living, where every day is an opportunity to connect with our heritage and the land we live on.
