Soak the fine bulgur in hot water for 15 minutes.
Saute the ground beef filling and let it cool, so hot filling does not crack the dough.
Shape large stuffed bulgur dumplings and small bulgur dumplings from the dough.
Add chickpeas to tomato paste broth and boil for 8 minutes.
Add the dumplings to the pot and cook over low heat for 35 minutes.
Add the dried mint during the last 2 minutes and serve.
💡 Tip: Drop the dumplings into barely trembling water, not a rolling boil; they are less likely to fall apart.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve hot in deep bowls with dried mint and lemon wedges.
