Instructions
- 1
Pour boiling water over the bulgur and let it swell.
- 2
Add the pastes, grated onion, and spices.
- 3
Knead for at least 20 minutes, until the bulgur no longer sticks to your hands.
- 4
Add the chopped herbs and shape the mixture.
💡 Tip: Do not rush the kneading, the long mixing is what turns the bulgur into a cohesive, glossy paste.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve wrapped in lettuce leaves with lemon wedges.
