Kyufte · Plovdiv
Kyufte is the Bulgarian grilled meat patty: a flat, round disc of minced pork with onion, cumin and garlic, cooked over charcoal alongside its cousin kebapche.
Kyufte (from Persian kufteh, via Ottoman Turkish) is the round counterpart to kebapche's finger shape. Bulgarian kyufte uses pork plus a higher proportion of onion, which keeps it juicy on the grill. Often served with chips, lyutenitsa and pickled vegetables, the dish is the standard pairing with kebapche on Plovdiv mehana grills through summer.
