Soak the bulgur with hot water and knead it with the flour until it becomes an elastic dumpling mixture.
Shape the mixture into tiny balls and press their centers lightly with your finger.
Boil the dumplings in salted boiling water for 6 minutes, until they rise to the surface.
Toss the dumplings in the tomato, garlic, and olive oil sauce and serve hot.
💡 Tip: Pressing a small hollow into each dumpling with your thumb helps the sauce cling better.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Sprinkle parsley on top and serve warm.
