Rest the bulgur with hot water for 20 minutes.
Saute the ground beef, onion, walnuts, salt, and black pepper for 8 minutes to make the filling.
Knead the bulgur with pepper paste for 6 minutes so it does not crack in the tray.
Grease the tray with olive oil and press in half of the dough.
Spread the filling, cover with the remaining dough, and score slice marks.
Bake in a 190°C oven for 35 minutes.
💡 Tip: Knead the bulgur until elastic; the tray layer will not crack during baking.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve in slices with yogurt and lemon.
