What is Sliced Çiğ Köfte?
Sliced Çiğ Köfte is a Turkish bulgur preparation, kneaded with pepper paste and spices, then shaped into portions for serving. It is especially associated with southeastern Turkey and Şanlıurfa. Although older versions could contain raw meat, the çiğ köfte commonly sold today in Turkey is usually meat-free; the sliced form makes it easy to share or portion.
It is soft yet slightly chewy, with a savoury, chilli-rich tang. In Turkey it is often wrapped in lettuce or flatbread and served with lemon, pomegranate molasses and greens, as a snack or light meal. Bulgur makes it mainly a carbohydrate source, with some fibre and comparatively little protein. For a lighter serving, use lettuce leaves instead of bread and add fresh salad.
