Fine Bulgur for Köfte

Fine-Grained Bulgur for Köfte

With its fine grains, köfte bulgur is the key ingredient in recipes such as çiğ köfte (spiced bulgur köfte), içli köfte (stuffed bulgur shells) and kısır (bulgur salad). It needs no boiling; when soaked with hot water or a mixture with paste, it softens quickly and is easy to knead. Thanks to its fine grains, it thoroughly absorbs spices and paste, giving the mixture cohesion.

In Gaziantep cuisine, köfte bulgur is found in the pantry of almost every home, and at Tufan Organik we stay close to this tradition. Adding water little by little while kneading helps the dough take shape without crumbling. Storing it in a cool, dry place in a closed container helps keep it fresh.

Serving Suggestions

• Knead lentil köfte with plenty of isot pepper and pomegranate molasses and serve with lettuce leaves.
• Prepare a refreshing kısır with fresh mint, parsley and spring onions.
• Use it with semolina in the outer dough of içli köfte to get a thin yet sturdy shell.
