Soak the bulgur in hot water for 10 minutes and keep it covered.
Add the grated tomato, pepper paste, and grated onion to the bulgur.
Knead the mixture for 6 minutes so the bulgur starch releases and the patties hold together.
Press the mixture into an oiled tray in an even 2 cm layer.
Spoon the tomato sauce over the top and bake at 190°C for 25 minutes.
Let the patty slab rest for 5 minutes, then cut it into square slices.
Lift the slices with a spatula and drizzle some of the tomato sauce from the tray over them.
💡 Tip: Adding enough hot water to the mixture helps keep the baked bulgur patties from cracking.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve warm with strained yogurt and arugula leaves on the side.
