Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Put cold water and red lentils and boil them until they’re mushy.

    If there’s excess water, drain it.

  2. 2

    Add fine bulghur, hot water, oil and red pepper paste. Mix them up well and let it sit for 30 minutes or the mixture cools down completely and gets a firm texture.

    If you think that this won’t get firm enough to make patties add a little bit more bulghur or add the hot water slowly.

  3. 3

    Take the mixture in a big bowl and add spices, grated onion, lemon juice, pomegranate sauce.

    Mix it up well.

  4. 4

    Add herbs; green onion and parsley. And mix it up gently.

    You can add more herbs or fresh spices like dill, cilantro, mint, etc.

  5. 5

    Make small patties to serve.

    You can serve with lemon wedges and lettuce leaves.
