Turn the onion and walnuts in a pan to make a fragrant, lightly oily filling.
Knead the bulgur, ground beef, and salt for a long time to make an outer shell that does not crack.
Open the outer mixture in your palm, place the walnut filling inside, and seal the ends.
Fry the oruk for 6 minutes and serve hot with lemon on the side.
💡 Tip: Wet your finger while thinning the outer shell in your palm; it shapes without cracking.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve hot with lemon wedges and parsley leaves on the side.
