Burlap & Barrel Köfte Baharat

Deeply savory and bursting with flavor, Köfte Baharat is a traditional Turkish spice blend for meat. A classic, savory blend of chilis, garlic, cumin and allspice, it has a warm flavor and enticing aroma and is perfect for Turkish and Eastern Mediterranean dishes. Versatile and balanced, it's at home in sausage, burgers, veggies, beans and soups.

In Turkey, Köfte Baharat (literally "meatball spices") is typically for seasoning lamb or beef meatballs, kebabs and burgers, and the famous dish çig köfte. We've got a recipe for the vegan version of the dish below.

Try it stirred into yogurt for a quick and easy sauce, sprinkled over eggs for a savory breakfast, mixed with veggies before roasting and used as a rub for grilled salmon or any other hearty fish.

Meet your new go-to blend for traditional Turkish and Eastern Mediterranean dishes and for all of your summer grilling. Or do it like we do: keep a jar on the table and sprinkle over everything.
