ÇİĞ KÖFTE: VEGAN RAW TURKISH BULGHUR MEATBALLS 🤩🌱 Favorite Turkish Street Food ❤️
Вставка
- Опубліковано 18 лют 2022
- Çiğ Köfte is the bestselling street food and an integral part of our culinary culture. It can be made in two ways, with meat or without meat. In the classic way you cook the meat by kneading with bulgur and spices using the power of the hand. However, today we are going to make it in a vegan way and instead of the meat we’ll be using the gorgeous taste and nutritional value of different kinds of nuts.

Difficulty: Hard
Servings:8-10
Prep time: 30 minutes
Cooking time: -
3,5 cups fine bulgur, 500 g, dark bulgur would do great as well
3,5 cups hot water, 875 ml
1 tablespoon tomato paste
1 tablespoon hot pepper paste
100 ml tomato puree
1/2 cup olive oil
1 teaspoon cumin
1 tablespoon isot pepper, isot aka Urfa biber is a dried chili pepper cultivated in the Urfa region of Turkey. Often described as having a smoky taste.
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 teaspoon salt
180 g mixed nuts, almond, walnut, peanut, hazelnut would do great
1 large onion, pureed
1 clove of garlic, pureed
3 tablespoons soy sauce, optional
For serving,
Lettuce
Lemon, wedges
Radish, sliced
Sprig onion
Fresh mint
Parsley
Lavash
• In a large bowl, combine the bulgur and hot water. Cover with a plate and set aside about 10 minutes to let the bulgur soak the water and cool down.
• To make the delicious sauce, mix the tomato and hot pepper paste, tomato puree, olive oil, cumin, isot, black pepper and salt in a bowl.
• Pulse the nuts in a food processor until the mixture turns into flour.
• Then take out the nuts from the processor and add the onion and garlic. Puree them and set aside.
• After bulgur soaks the water and cools down, transfer into a çiğ köfte tray or an oven tray. Çiğ köfte tray is a special tray to make çiğ köfte which doesn’t have a smooth bottom, so it has more surface area to make ease and fasten the kneading process.
• Pour the tomato sauce on bulgur and start kneading.
• Rub the mixture with the base of your palm and support the mixture with your other hand to put the pressure on the mixture. Knead for about 5 minutes.
• Add the onion and garlic puree and keep kneading for another 15 minutes.
• Then add the nuts into the mixture and keep kneading for another 10 minutes. Make sure that your çiğ köfte is not dry. If it is dry add some ice cubes and continue kneading.
• Depending on taste, you can add some soy sauce, but I need to tell you that is not something traditional in Turkey. It is a suggestion if you can’t find good quality ingredients.
• After kneading, grab walnut size pieces, place inside your palm and squeeze gently to give the çiğ köfte shape.
• Serve with lemon wedges, lettuce, parsley, fresh mint, spring onion, radish and lavash in a tray or make a wrap. It would be a great vegan treat for your parties!

Refika and squad, thank you so much for presenting Vegan-friendly recipes for us! I cannot be happier! ❤️
Refika, you and your staff are a joy to watch. You bring such love and care to whatever you do. Thank You!!
Can I just say how much I love Bahar's comments from behind the camera. It's like Refika has her little sidekick in each show. 😂😂
Çok güzel güzel olmuş, Refika's Kitchen'in takımı. 🥰🥰
Seve seve yapacağım. Almanya'dan selamlar
Hello Refika, I am vegan and I have recently found this channel. This is my favourite Turkish recipe and I am really thankful that you do vegan recipes as well. I love your videos and energy. You and the team are amazing. Can you make more recipes with isot pepper, this is my favourite spice. Thank you! Greetings from Bulgaria 🌟
Very interesting! ❤
I love how you don't waste anything. I cook the same way ❤
Refika hanım, the vegan viewers may also want to see mercimek köfte as well.
For such a long time I was omitting trying cig köftes and kisir just because they didn't look that appetizing to me on screen (everyone was saying how tasty they are, I know), but man, oh man, once I tried them, I understood why they were saying so 😍it's delicious ngl 🤤
there were cig koftes's made with raw meat. you're possibly missing all the real joy. I really miss that now every cig kofte is 100% vegan coz raw meat is forbidden in food.
but of course traditional cuisine is going on in eastern turkey amongst families.
what is your nationality
I'll need to save this recipe for when I have plenty time but I hope to try it because it sounds and looks so interesting and delicious. I'm so glad you don't only focus on quick or complex recipes but give us plenty variety. I made some pomegranate sour after watching your video about it and wow it so good I need to make more while we have pomegranates because I've already used quite a bit of the batch I made! Thank you for making my life more delicious 😁 and of course, as always, making me smile as you share not only your recipes but also your love.

Can't wait to see Bahar try this - we already know she'll love it
hahaha she definitely did!!
Gamechanger for me as an Cigköft-addict -> pomegranate seeds on top🤤 you NEED to try it. they pop with evey bite! love it
Excellent that you use your hands Refika. I believe that’s where the taste comes from. And the added 💕
Food preparation and exercise video in one! 😅❤
Hi team, I love this technique❤ Each and every time you make a vegan or vegetarian dish Refika, I get so excited. BTW Yagiz is adorable and I wish him all the happiness and success.
Finally a chikofte I can eat. In our house, there was chikofte every Sunday with kebab... I never liked the idea of raw meat. Can't wait to try this. Thank you
The amount of labor that went into these. Absolutely incredible.
So happy to see a raw vegan recipe on your channel Refika 😊🤗 Lovely recipe too.
More to come!
Delicious 😋 Greetings from Scotland 😊 Have a wonderful day everyone 🌻

Bahar is a comedian at heart. 😂❤
Thank you so much for this recipe…we've eaten cig köfte two years ago during our vacation in belek. we loved it😍
Dear Refika, you and your team are absolutely awesome!
Looks like it tastes wonderful! This was another charming video by you! I love when you do vegan recipes!
I love these videos! They are such a comfort to me, since I used to live in Turkey and miss it often! Next please show us how to make manti :)
Love meeting your team and watching you work so well together. You are looking fabulous! Your hard work is showing. Love your channel.

🥰🙌🏼🤗
I love your energy
Congratulations to Yagiz & Bahar's great editing!
This video is full of joy, love & great friendship and it made me feel good & happy....so Merci!
I didn't try Cig Kofte when I was in Istanbul but it looks worth the effort and I can cook and work on my forearms, definitely better than going to the gym to pump up some iron! 😂😂
Love the idea of Gabriela about a summer school....hoping it'll come reality???
This was a labour of love 😋
ThankX for this amazing recipe!
This remembers me those IBO-show with the ÇİĞ KÖFTE- kneading guys and child birthdays in my turkish friends families.
My husband and I watch you daily. I want him to make semit!!! He made your cabbage rolls and they were “outta this world” delicious! Keep up your fabulous show! We love, love it all!!!!!!! From Toad Suck, Arkansas
Thank youuuu.. 😘to you and to your husband 😘

Love you guys!
Hello
Thanks for a brilliant idea for vegetarians like me. Sunday Dinner has just been decided. 😍
Aaah. The memories of Turkish street food on a plate. One could pretty much live on çiğ kőfte. Thank you for revealing the secret ;-)
Greating from Canada.Isot pepper is available from the spice treckker in Canada.Continue your work with your team, love your recipe and the technique.Thank for the vegan recipe because let's be honest the price of meat like so many thing things have increase.
I must try to make these, they look so good. You guys are so funny I was literally laughing out loud while watching!
just love your relaxed ways of presentation, probably wont be making the vegan version but enjoy your banter. Englishman living in Bulgaria.
“I open the ears of it…” I absolutely adore how Refika wastes nothing.
Thank you very much for the vegan-friendly recipe !! love from Seattle! ❤
I am so glad I had it with meat! I was so surprised upon returning to Turkey and learning it was now made with bulgar.. I did not have a chance to try that type before I had to return to the state because of a severe illness.. maybe I will try to do this myself. love the show
Wow!! It looks so amazing. I hope you will continue ti post more vegan Turkish recipies 🙏🙏🙏🙏❤️❤️
This video was so full of life and so beautifully made! I had indeed seen your videos made for subway stations of Istanbul a while ago and now was thinking of making cigkofte for my friends, but it definitely looks harder than I’d imagined 😁
Turkish cuisine is a heaven for people who are both vegan and meat lovers 🥰🥰🌠🍊
I love the edits amazing :D
I just watched your other kofte recipe and I was getting ready to ask if there was a vegan recipe then I looked at the list and there it was! Thank you!
Amazing! I will try 😊 I eat a plant-based diet and I realised Turkish cuisine actually had a lot of options ❤
Congrats to Yagiz and welcome, lovely to see a new face with new ideas! 🤗 I can’t wait to try this, though I will have to adapt it for gluten sensitivities. I have been looking for a good meat alternative that holds together. I find most bean based are far too runny, even after baking them to remove moisture!
🤗🤗😘😘 lovely as usual !! Love you guys and have a wonderful weekend.
Welcome Yağız! I am drooling! I will totally make this, but the "cheater" way since I have problems with the joints in my hands and simply won't be able to knead that long. KitchenAid for the win! 😃
Wohoww am so happy I can do this ! Have alwasy thought of it !! I normally use pomegranate sour especially with side dishes and rainbow salad with the dressing ..thank you ,I am happy I pressed the bell ! The video popped up on my list ! Yuppy
I love Bahar's little mischievous editing in this video lol
I have bought your Pomegranate Molasses and looking forward to trying this Vegan version. As always, a first-class Presentation. ❤️
I love it! ❤️
Thank you for the wonderful recipe. Hope to try it out some day. You are awesome.
Vegetarians will actually find that Turkey is a vegetarian friendly place despite the country being more well known for kebabs. When I was there , I had no problem finding lots of veggie dishes in their locanta - which is like Turkish style restaurants. Wana visit them soon
And it’s amazing 😘. I am definitely going to try this
the YTP section during the nut flour part was pure gold
I really appreciate your recipes thanks for sharing
looks yummy!!
A Labor of Love by you all. I am in awe of the size of your radishes. Rafika, you are such a beautiful soul and a delight to watch. If I could drop by for a Turkish coffee, I would do it in a heart beat. Love you sunshine. Keep shining on. Keep well. 🌞💖👏🇨🇦
How exciting! I haven't had this kofte in so many years, and now I can make it for all my vegetarian friends--fantastic. Yagiz (sorry for not have the right diacritical marks), I'm looking forward to seeing more of you in the future. And I *love* the idea of the poster below to have a school--that would be huge fun.
Thanks Refika for vegan recipes, Refika rocks
I am a Turkish vegetarian woman living in the States who keeps watching the English channel. People who don’t know Turkish believe me this channel is so much fun (maybe funnier than the Turkish channel 🙊). I am a big fan of Refika🤩 I share her recipes with my American friends and take them to the Turkish grocery store to buy these unique ingredients. Lastly, of course, I bought Refika’s knife when I visited Turkey 🙃
Amazing recipe Refika!! Keep doing n keep going well!
Thanks for the hard work 😘💕
Vakti gelmişti. Çiğ köfte candır can!
katılıyoruz ve arttırıyoruz! ❤️❤️
I can’t believe I’ve just watched this masterpiece for free. Thank you so much. ❤️
You are amazing 🌸love your details recipes of Turkish style 💐
You guys are so awesome. I love love watching you.
Why am I surprised and have a smile on my face everytime i watch your videos?❤️
❤️
I love cig kofte and your channel
Loved it 👍🏽❤️
Sonunda!! 🥲
I didn’t think I’d like this but it looks really good. Wow! You radish is huge!!!
Harika olmuş 🌸💜🥰
I need to try this looks delicious 🤤
Vegan YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I haven't even seen the video yet but am so happy to see Vegan meatballs! In India Street food rage is- soybean flour tandoori smoked soya chaap tikkas that are difficult to replicate in home kitchens so this video was manifested for me ☺
Oh lala Refika,one of my best friends
Who is Turkish made those for me..it was abolutely heaven!! I did not dare making them..but you make it look to easy!!I will try it I promise! ❤🇨🇦🇩🇿
Oooh! I don't know if my arthritis will be able to handle this, but I'll have to try it out and see-- I'm phobic of getting badly burned using the oven & stove bc of a few bad experiences in my childhood, so this kind of thing is def up my alley. If my hands can't handle it, this might be what makes me get a stand mixer, though.
It is so nice to see Yağız advancing in his cooking career!
I happen to have a bag of very fine bulgur and was wondering what to do with it. Not sure I have the stamina for this recipe, but maybe :) Do you think smoked paprika might be a good substitute for isot?
Tonight I am in cappadocia.. I love 🇹🇷 through your words..all the way from india I am visiting here these days. Amazing.. I tasted many foods you show on channel.. I miss u refika and teams..
I made this not long ago but instead of cumin I added sumac and allepo peppers with Urfa biber. I add pomegranate sour. If you use a kitchen aid, use a box grater for the onion and make sure you drain the water or else you'll never get the bitter out.
What a great option to have when my vegetarian friends come over!
This looks so suoer yummy!
Bahar's hair is so cute!!! The kofte looks good and in spite of the HOURS OF KNEADING seems rather simple! You're right that I don't have the pepper paste or that other kind of pepper, but I do have soy sauce!
I got isot pepper in Australia under the name urfa biber, and it's one of the best spices out there. I like to put it in my pilafs, roast pumpkin, and tomato-based stews. I look forward to using it in this :)
It goes perfectly well with Lentil and Ezogelin soup too.
Hi dear Refika! I am really so happy with your recipes and with your kitchen clues! I now have a video request. I love the Turkish savory cornbread with feta cheese, but I was looking for a recipe that fits a twelve muffin pan, because that would be so beautiful to serve and ready preportioned to freeze! Sadly there is no such a recipe out there for me to find on UA-cam, so I thought maybe you could create one! I guess it would turn out gorgeous ☺️👍🌟✨
Amazing👍🏻❤️
Thank you💐💐❤❤🇪🇸
you are great thanks a lot
