What is Sıkmaç çiğköfte?
Sıkmaç çiğköfte is a Turkish wrap made with meat-free çiğköfte: fine bulgur kneaded with tomato paste, spices and pomegranate molasses, then wrapped in lavash. The sıkmaç style makes the seasoned filling easy to hold and eat on the go.
It tastes savoury, gently tangy and warmly spiced, with a soft, slightly chewy texture from the bulgur and lavash. In Turkey, it is often eaten as a quick lunch or casual meal, with lettuce, parsley and lemon; an ayran or other cool drink makes a natural pairing. It is mainly a carbohydrate-based option, with bulgur contributing fibre. For a lighter wrap, use less lavash and add extra fresh greens.
