Cig Kofte Ingredients

Method

Preparation Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Bulgur

    In a large bowl, combine fine bulgur and hot water. Cover and let it sit for about 15 minutes until the bulgur absorbs the water and becomes soft.

  2. 2

    Mix Ingredients

    Add tomato paste, red pepper paste, grated onion, parsley, mint, black pepper, cumin, salt, lemon juice, and olive oil to the bulgur. Mix well using your hands until everything is evenly combined and the mixture is smooth.

  3. 3

    Shape the Cig Kofte

    Once the mixture is well combined, take small portions and shape them into oval or round patties (about the size of a golf ball).

  4. 4

    Chill and Serve

    Place the shaped Cig Kofte on a platter, cover, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving. Serve with lettuce leaves for wrapping.
