Cuisine

Dating back thousands of years, Çiğ Köfte is an indispensable part of Şanlıurfa social gatherings. Unlike the meatless versions common across Türkiye, the authentic Urfa recipe relies on kneading lean lamb meat with ice and fine bulgur.

Ingredients

  • 500 g fine dark bulgur
  • 400 g lean lamb meat (double minced)
  • 1 cup of Şanlıurfa isot pepper
  • 1 onion
  • Ice cubes for kneading

Preparation

  1. Place bulgur, finely chopped onion, and isot pepper into a large kneading tray.
  2. Add ice cubes and knead firmly until the bulgur softens.
  3. Add the minced meat and continue kneading until a smooth paste is formed.
  4. Squeeze small portions in your palm to shape them and serve with fresh greens.
