About Koefte
Koefte is a flavorful dish originating from Middle Eastern and Mediterranean cuisines, popular in countries like Turkey, Lebanon, and Greece. It consists of ground meat, typically beef or lamb, mixed with spices such as cumin, coriander, garlic, and parsley, along with breadcrumbs or bulgur for texture. These ingredients are shaped into patties, meatballs, or skewers, and then grilled, baked, or fried. Koefte is rich in protein, essential vitamins, and minerals such as iron and zinc, making it a nutritious option for those seeking to maintain muscle health and energy levels. However, its healthfulness can vary based on preparation methods; grilling is typically lower in fat compared to frying. Paired with fresh vegetables or whole grains, Koefte can be part of a balanced meal. To keep sodium in check, opting for low-salt spice blends is recommended.
