About Kofte
Kofte is a flavorful dish originating from Middle Eastern and Mediterranean cuisines, widely enjoyed in regions like Turkey, Lebanon, and Persia. Traditionally crafted from ground meat like lamb, beef, or chicken, it’s blended with aromatic spices such as cumin, coriander, and allspice, along with onion, garlic, and parsley. The mixture is shaped into patties, balls, or skewers and cooked by grilling, baking, or frying. Nutritionally, kofte is a rich source of protein, iron, and essential nutrients from the meat, while herbs and spices add antioxidants and anti-inflammatory benefits. However, its healthfulness depends on preparation methods—grilled or oven-baked versions are lower in fat compared to fried ones. Pairing kofte with wholesome sides like salad, yogurt sauce, or whole-grain pita enhances its nutritional balance. Moderation is key, as higher-fat cuts of meat and fried versions can contribute to added calories and saturated fat content.
