Soak the bulgur in boiling water for 10 minutes, then add the flour and salt, knead and shape into small meatballs about the size of olives.
Soak the cherry leaves in hot water for 5 minutes, remove the stems and wrap one bulgur ball in each leaf.
Arrange the rolls in a wide pot, add enough water to cover them and cook over low heat for 25 minutes.
Whisk the yogurt, egg and half a cup of water until smooth, then slowly add it to the cooking liquid and boil for 5 minutes, stirring constantly.
Cook the chopped onion in butter for 5 minutes until lightly pink, add the mint and turn it for 30 seconds.
Transfer the stuffed dumplings to a plate, spoon the buttery onion over them and serve hot.
💡 Tip: Briefly blanching the cherry leaves makes them supple enough to wrap.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve warm, with yogurt and lemon wedges on the side if you like.
