About Cig koefte

Çiğ Köfte, originating from Turkish cuisine, is a flavorful and nutritious dish traditionally made with bulgur, tomato paste, olive oil, and a blend of spices like paprika, cumin, and chili flakes. Originally prepared with raw minced meat, modern vegetarian versions are more common, replacing meat with ingredients like walnut paste or lentils. This dish is rich in fiber, thanks to bulgur, and packed with nutrients from fresh herbs such as parsley and green onions. It is typically served wrapped in lettuce leaves or alongside flatbread, accompanied by fresh lemon juice. Çiğ Köfte is low in saturated fat when prepared without meat, making it a heart-healthy option. However, portions should be mindful of its relatively high sodium content due to spices and seasoning. It provides plant-based protein and sustained energy, making it a wholesome and satisfying choice for many diets.
