Mercimek Köftesi are the perfect answer to hot summer days! These Turkish lentil balls are traditionally served cold and bring a refreshing change to the plate. Red lentils are blended with bulgur wheat to create a malleable mass, while an aromatic spice blend of paprika, cumin, and chili flakes adds authentic flavor. Fresh parsley and lemon juice round out the aroma. The kofte are formed by hand and served in lettuce – a traditional treat that fills you up without being heavy. Ideal for picnics, parties, or as a light main course. Authentically Turkish and incredibly delicious!
