A cig kofte wrap brings together çiğ köfte—a Turkish mixture kneaded from fine bulgur, pepper and spices—with fresh greens in thin lavash. Although the dish has older versions made with meat, the familiar wrap sold in Turkey today is usually meat-free, often finished with pomegranate molasses.
Its filling is spicy and tangy, balanced by soft bread and crisp lettuce or parsley. In Turkey it is a popular grab-and-go lunch or snack; elsewhere, it works well as a casual vegetarian meal. Bulgur and lavash make it mainly a source of carbohydrates, with some fibre and relatively little fat. Add extra greens and go easy on the molasses for a lighter wrap.

A Cig kofte wrap is a thin lavash filled with spicy, kneaded bulgur-based çiğ köfte, usually with lettuce, herbs and a tangy sauce. It is a Turkish street-food wrap served rolled and ready to eat.
Most Cig kofte wraps sold in Turkey contain meat-free, bulgur-based çiğ köfte. Some older or traditional çiğ köfte recipes used raw minced meat, so ask about the filling when buying from a source whose recipe you do not know.
Spread a thin layer of çiğ köfte over soft lavash, then add lettuce, parsley and a little lemon juice or pomegranate molasses. Roll it firmly without overfilling; too much filling makes the wrap difficult to close.
A Cig kofte wrap can be quite spicy because the çiğ köfte may contain isot pepper and chilli. The heat varies by recipe and shop, so choose a mild filling and skip extra hot sauce if you prefer less spice.
Lemon juice and pomegranate molasses are common additions to a Cig kofte wrap, and some shops offer hot sauce too. Use a modest amount so the lavash does not turn soggy before you eat it.
A Cig kofte wrap encloses the çiğ köfte in lavash with greens and often sauce, making it a portable meal. Plate-served çiğ köfte is usually shaped into individual pieces and accompanied by lettuce or other greens for wrapping at the table.
Ayran, fresh greens and lemon pair well with a Cig kofte wrap and are common Turkish accompaniments. Since the wrap already includes lavash, adding a simple drink or salad keeps the meal from becoming too heavy.
A Cig kofte wrap is best eaten fresh because the sauce and greens soften the lavash as it sits. If you need to save one, refrigerate it promptly in a sealed container rather than leaving it at room temperature.
A Cig kofte wrap often falls apart when the lavash is dry, the filling is overstuffed, or wet sauce soaks through the bread. Use soft lavash, spread the filling in a thin layer and roll it snugly.
A Cig kofte wrap can be filling because it combines bulgur-based çiğ köfte with lavash, while lettuce and herbs add volume. Pairing it with ayran or another protein-containing side can make the meal more satisfying.
