Turkish Meal from Holland
You need : a pound of meatloaf
a pound onions
some garlic
rice
1 egg
sambal
mayonaise or yoghurt
Turkish bread
Make tiny balls from the meatloaf, but before you do put in garlic, egg and some sambal.
In the meanwhile cook the rice with some salt and fry sliced potatoes. The onions have to be baked for a short while otherwise they get too dark. When they are golden brown they are done.
When you have done that make the garlicsause to go with the meal: take three spoonfuls of mayo or youghurt and a little water to make it more smooth. Then take garlic (I always use fresh garlic for this one... 1 clove is enough).
Get a plate and put onions on it first, then rice with the garlic sause. Then the meatballs and the sliced potatoes.
We always eat Turkish bread with it.
Bon appetit!
