Duru Köftelik İnce Bulgur is an extra fine bulgur made from durum wheat, labelled on the pack for çiğ köfte (çiğköftelik). The tiny grains hydrate quickly and soak up flavour, so a little goes a long way, and the 5 kg bag suits households that cook köfte, kısır and stuffed dishes often, or small catering needs.
For kısır, pour hot water over the bulgur in a wide bowl, cover and let it swell for around ten minutes, then work in tomato and pepper paste, olive oil, lemon juice or pomegranate molasses, spring onion, parsley and mint, and serve in lettuce leaves. The same fine grain is the base of çiğ köfte, mercimek köftesi (red lentil balls) and the outer shell of içli köfte, and it makes a quick tabbouleh-style salad too.
Because the bag is large, close it tightly after each use or decant the bulgur into a lidded container and keep it in a cool, dry place away from moisture and strong smells. It is made from wheat and contains gluten.
