About Cigkoftem
Çiğköftem is a flavorful, plant-based dish with roots in Turkish cuisine. Traditionally made with bulgur, tomato paste, spices, and herbs, it is seasoned heavily with red pepper, cumin, and other aromatics that provide its signature bold taste. Modern vegetarian versions omit raw meat, making it a lighter, nutrient-rich meal. Bulgur is a whole grain, offering fiber and complex carbohydrates, while the spices contribute antioxidants. Low in fat and high in flavor, this dish is often served in lettuce leaves or rolled in flatbread, accompanied by fresh herbs, lemon, and pomegranate molasses for a tangy twist. Despite its health benefits, some versions may have high sodium levels due to added spices and sauces. Nevertheless, çiğköftem is a satisfying option for those seeking a mix of tradition and nutrition in a diet-conscious dish.
