For the salad, clean and wash the red cabbage and cut it into fine strips from the stalk. Sprinkle with salt and knead thoroughly. Peel and wash the carrots and slice or cut into wafer-thin slices. Cut figs into fine slices.
Onions peel, halve and in thin strips cut. Wash parsley, shake dry and chop.
Mix apple juice, vinegar, some salt and pepper. Fold in 1 tablespoon of oil. Pour the vinaigrette over the red cabbage. Mix in the carrots, figs, onions and parsley well and leave to stand for at least 1 hour.
In the meantime, peel and finely chop the garlic for the köfte. Knead minced meat, egg, breadcrumbs, tomato paste and garlic. Season with 1 teaspoon each of salt and cumin and 1⁄2 teaspoon each of pepper and curry.
Form 12-16 balls from the mass.
Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a frying pan. Fry on medium heat for about 5 minutes. Season the red cabbage salad to taste again and serve with hot or cooled köfte as you like.
