What Is Cig Kofte?
Cig kofte, pronounced “cheek kofta,” is a flavorful Turkish dish traditionally made with raw meat. However, the modern and widely loved version is completely vegan—made from fine bulgur, tomato and pepper pastes, olive oil, and aromatic spices.
Served cold and shaped into finger-sized rolls, cig kofte is typically enjoyed with crisp lettuce, lemon wedges, and sometimes pomegranate molasses. It’s spicy, refreshing, and full of authentic Turkish flavor.

½ cup olive oil
Juice of 1 lemon
1 teaspoon cumin
1 teaspoon paprika (sweet or smoked)
Salt and chili flakes to taste
½ bunch fresh parsley (chopped)
Optional: Iceberg lettuce for serving
Quick Steps:
Soak bulgur in warm water for 10 minutes.
Mix in pastes, onion, garlic, spices, olive oil, and lemon juice.
Knead for 10-15 minutes until soft.
Add parsley, shape into small pieces.

Serving Tips:
Pair it with Ayran, a cold yogurt-based drink, to balance the heat.
