If you're searching for a bold, spicy, and unforgettable dish, cig kofte is a must-try! This traditional Turkish recipe has traveled from the heart of Anatolia into modern kitchens around the world. Whether you're a foodie, a vegan, or someone exploring international flavors, this cig kofte recipe will leave a lasting impression.
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.
