Fellah köfte with bulgur and tomato paste is a southern Turkish dish of small dumplings made by kneading fine bulgur with semolina and flour. The dumplings are boiled, then coated in a garlicky tomato-paste sauce; recipes often add spices and herbs.
They are tender but pleasantly firm, with the bulgur taking on the sauce’s savoury, tangy flavour. In Turkey they may be served as a main or as part of a spread, often finished with parsley and a squeeze of lemon. The dish is mainly a source of carbohydrates, with some fibre: it provides 4.1 g per 100 g. For a lighter plate, use a restrained amount of oil in the sauce and serve with salad or greens.
