What is Bello Lentil Kofta?
Bello Lentil Kofta is a prepared version of Turkish mercimek köftesi, the meat-free lentil bites often made at home. The traditional mixture combines cooked red lentils and fine bulgur with onion, pepper or tomato paste, herbs and spices. It is soft and lightly grainy, with a savoury, gently tangy flavour.
In Turkey, lentil kofta is commonly served as a meze or light meal, shaped into small portions and eaten with lettuce leaves and a squeeze of lemon. It also works well as part of a shared spread. It offers plant-based protein and fibre; each 100 g provides 6.4 g of fibre. Pair it with fresh salad or extra greens for a lighter, more filling plate.
