Zubereitung

1
Combine the ground beef, grated onion, garlic, breadcrumbs, parsley, cumin, paprika, 1/2 teaspoon of the salt, and black pepper in a bowl. Mix with your hands just until evenly combined, then rest for 10 minutes.
2
Divide the mixture into 16 portions and roll each into a compact oval about 5 cm long. Keep the shape firm but do not overwork the meat.
3
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a wide, heavy skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the köfte in batches for 2 to 3 minutes per side, until browned but not fully cooked; transfer to a plate.

4
Reduce the heat to medium and add the remaining olive oil. Sauté the diced red pepper for 4 minutes, stirring, until softened. Stir in the tomato paste and cook for 1 minute until brick-red and fragrant.
5
Add the grated tomatoes, warm water, and remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt. Stir, bring to a gentle boil, then simmer uncovered for 8 minutes until the sauce slightly thickens.
6
Return the köfte to the skillet, spoon sauce over them, and simmer gently for 12 to 15 minutes, turning once, until the sauce is glossy and the köfte reach 74°C at the center.
