What is Çiğköfte (Komagene)?
Çiğköfte (Komagene) is a ready-to-eat Turkish take on çiğköfte, made mainly from fine bulgur kneaded with tomato and pepper paste, spices, pomegranate molasses and oil. Unlike older regional versions made with raw meat, this style is meat-free; the recipe may also include walnuts or hazelnuts.
It is spicy, tangy and savoury, with a soft, compact texture that holds its ridged shape. In Turkey, it is commonly wrapped in lettuce with a squeeze of lemon, or rolled in lavash with herbs and salad. It also works as a shareable snack or light meal; abroad, it pairs easily with flatbread and crunchy greens.
Bulgur provides fibre, while the protein content is modest. Add beans or another protein-rich side if you want to make it a more filling meal.
