Soak the cracked wheat in 1 cup hot water for 15 minutes, then drain.
Grate the carrot and zucchini and finely chop the onion; squeeze the grated vegetables firmly by hand.
In a large bowl, knead the cracked wheat, vegetables, flour, pepper paste, salt, black pepper, cumin, and dried mint for 5 minutes.
Rest the mixture for 10 minutes so the cracked wheat absorbs the vegetable moisture.
Shape walnut-sized patties and flatten them lightly in your palms.
Heat the olive oil in a wide pan and cook the patties over medium heat for 4 to 5 minutes on each side until golden; serve hot.
💡 Tip: Squeezing every bit of water from the grated zucchini and carrot is the key to keeping the patties intact. If the mixture stays loose, add 1 more tablespoon of flour.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve with garlic yogurt and a butter sauce scented with red pepper flakes.
