Kofte kebab

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Köfte kebab or şiş köfte is a kebab variant. It consists of köfte, minced lamb meatballs with herbs, often including parsley and mint, on a stick, grilled. The food is popular in Turkey, where there are hundreds of versions such as ıslama köfte, çiğ köfte, and kadınbudu köfte; and, is usually served with plain rice and a salad,[1] and also in Armenia,[citation needed] and Romania[citation needed].

Köfte is usually made of ground meat. It can also be made without any meat at all however, as in the case of lentil or potato köfte.[2]
