Chop the onion very finely, and chop the parsley and scallions.
- 3
Add the tomato paste, red pepper paste, onion, red pepper flakes, cumin, and salt to the swollen bulgur.
- 4
Knead the mixture for 10 minutes by pressing it with your palm, until the bulgur fully absorbs the pastes.
10 min10:00 - 5
Add the olive oil, lemon juice, parsley, and scallions, then knead for 4 more minutes.
4 min04:00 - 6
Divide the mixture into walnut sized pieces and press each one in your palm to shape.
- 7
Serve the pressed bulgur koftes at room temperature with lettuce leaves and lemon.
💡 Tip: Do not add the oil before the bulgur has fully softened; kneading with the pastes first helps the kofte hold its pressed shape.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve like a meze platter with lettuce, radishes, lemon wedges, and plain sparkling water.
