Çiğköfte is a traditional Turkish dish with roots in Middle Eastern cuisine. Originally crafted with raw minced meat, modern vegetarian adaptations have become more popular, using bulgur as the main ingredient. The dish is flavored with a rich blend of spices including paprika, cumin, black pepper, and isot pepper, alongside tomato and pepper paste, creating a robust and savory profile. Fresh parsley, scallions, and mint are often added for additional texture and brightness. Çiğköfte is typically served with lettuce leaves, lemon slices, and pomegranate molasses, making it a light and refreshing appetizer or snack. Packed with fiber from bulgur and antioxidant-rich spices, it offers several health benefits. However, it can be high in sodium due to the seasoning, so mindful consumption is recommended. A staple of Turkish culinary culture, vegetarian çiğköfte is an increasingly popular and nutritious choice for plant-based diets.
