Cig Kofte

Posted on April 6, 2023April 18, 2023 By Admin No Comments on Cig Kofte

Cig kofte is a very traditional Turkish dish that doesn’t get enough attention! It is packed with tons of flavor and when served on some fresh lettuce leaves with a squeeze of lemon juice, all of the flavors blend together seamlessly!

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup fine bulgur
  • 1/2 cup tomato paste
  • 1/4 cup red pepper paste
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 1 onion, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 cup fresh parsley, finely chopped
  • 1/2 cup fresh mint, finely chopped
  • 1 tablespoon paprika
  • 1 tablespoon cumin
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • 1/2 pound ground beef or lamb
  • Lettuce leaves, lemon wedges, and/or pita bread for serving

Instructions:

  1. Rinse the bulgur in cold water and drain well. Soak it in hot water for 15-20 minutes until softened.
  2. In a large bowl, mix together the tomato paste, red pepper paste, olive oil, onion, garlic, parsley, mint, paprika, cumin, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes until well combined.
  3. Add the ground meat and drained bulgur to the bowl and knead the mixture well with your hands until it becomes a smooth and homogeneous paste.
  4. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let it rest in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, or overnight.
  5. When ready to serve, shape the mixture into small balls or patties, or serve it as a spread on lettuce leaves or pita bread. Garnish with lemon wedges and extra herbs if desired.
