Çiğ Köfte – A Spicy Tradition from the Heart of Mesopotamia

Çiğ Köfte, literally meaning “raw köfte,” is an emblematic dish from southeastern Turkey and Kurdistan, where it has been prepared for centuries.
Originally made with raw meat, fine bulgur, and aromatic spices, it was kneaded by hand for a long time until it reached a smooth, flavorful texture.
Today, in keeping with modern standards and vegetarian traditions, it is often crafted without meat, while preserving its bold taste and authenticity.

At Derya, we prepare a vegetarian Çiğ Köfte made from finely ground bulgur, fragrant spices, tomato paste, pomegranate, and fresh herbs.
Served with crisp lettuce, mint leaves, lemon, and lavash bread, it’s a vibrant, fresh, and intense dish — both healthy and deeply rooted in the culinary heritage of the Fertile Crescent.

A must-try for those who appreciate authentic flavors and a living culinary tradition.
