GENERAL QUESTIONS & ANSWERS ABOUT ÇİĞKÖFTE(M)

Vegan food is in vogue in England. Çiğköftem has long offered vegan products. Here you will find frequently asked questions and answers about our products.

Çiğköfte is a very old dish. The people of the Mesopotamia region have always kept this centuries-old dish alive. Partly with new interpretations and often faithful to the original, this dish is a perennial favorite. It is created when the valuable and natural ingredients of bulgur (wheat), tomato paste, paprika pulp, numerous spices, ground nuts and other ingredients come together and are kneaded with diligence to form the typical Çiğköfte mixture. A large piece is then pressed into small Çiğköfte meatballs as desired and eaten.

Due to the fact that the Çiğköfte are kneaded by hand, they have a typical shape. You can see the imprints of the fingers of the kneader. At the same time, this process at Çiğköftem naturally takes place exclusively under hygienic conditions and with gloves. Thus, we can guarantee full hygiene.

According to the traditional recipe, tartar, the finest minced meat, is also added to the mixture. However, for both health and hygiene reasons, we do not use meat in Çiğköftem and prepare our Çiğköfte 100% vegan. This is for the good of the animals, for the good of the environment and for the good of the customers. 😉

Yes, Çiğköfte is absolutely healthy and especially with Çiğköftem even more beneficial. Because we do not use tartar meat, that is, raw meat. This ensures that no dangerous salmonellae get into our products. Moreover, our Çiğköfte is rich in proteins, vitamins, fiber as well as healthy spices such as mint, cumin, allspice, paprika powder, coriander hot bell pepper flakes (optional).

The main ingredient is bulgur, which is wheat. Of course, only the best selection goes into our Çiğköfte. Thus, we guarantee this incomparable taste at Çiğköftem.

The exact origin of Çiğköfte is almost as unclear as the question of the exact day of the Big Bang. Little inside joke. Of course, there are historians who rely on certain clues, but finding a day zero is impossible. However, there is agreement that Çiğköfte is said to have been invented by the Prophet Abraham. Because Nimrod wanted to throw Abraham into the fire, he is said to have collected all the wood. Abraham’s wife had then kneaded the meat of a deer with the wheat until the first Çiğköfte meatballs were created as an edible dish. So the origin possibly goes back thousands of years.

At Çiğköftem, the Çiğköfte is 100% vegan. But basically Çiğköfte can be prepared with meat, vegetarian and vegan.

The term “vegan” refers to the exclusive consumption of a plant-based diet. Anything animal is definitely not used. Yes, this includes things like honey, dairy products, and eggs!

According to the old traditional recipe, meat goes into the Çiğköfte. But we do without meat. Our version is vegan!

A Çiğköfte consists of bulgur, which is shredded wheat, tomato paste, paprika paste, pomegranate syrup, dye (E150 d), optional spicy, salt, dried onion, dried garlic, sweet paprika, black bell pepper, cumin, coriander, allspice, ginger, chili pepper, Çiğköfte spice mix (carrot, celery, leek, radish, tomato, red capia pepper, various dried vegetables).

The traditional recipe, on the other hand, needs minced meat, preferably tartar quality. For this purpose, a Çiğköfte is refined with pomegranate syrup on top and/or citric acid.

All known soft drinks as well as juices go quite well with Çiğköfte. But if you’ve ordered spicy Çiğköfte and need to cool down, the popular yogurt drink Ayran will help. Ayran and Çiğköfte is a dream duo. Try it out and see for yourself.

For a real kick, you may well drink the juice of pickled beets with Çiğköfte. Sour, spicy, vinegary and with a kick. But healthy and for those who like it, a real delicacy.
