Soak the bulgur wheat for about 20 minutes, then drain and rinse it.

Once drained and rinsed, chop the bell pepper and onion into small cubes.

Take the mint sprigs, remove the leaves, and chop them as finely as possible.

In a bowl, combine the rinsed and drained bulgur wheat, ground beef, onion, bell pepper, chopped mint, and raw egg. Mix everything together and season with salt and pepper to taste.

With your hands, form medium-sized oval balls (as shown in the recipe photo).

Once the oval balls are formed, roll them in breadcrumbs to fully coat them.

Heat a generous amount of oil in a pan over medium-high heat to cook them.

Once the oil is hot, carefully add the balls. If necessary, reduce to medium heat to ensure they cook through (if the heat is too high, they might cook too quickly on the outside, but if it's too low, they might absorb too much oil). They may take about 10-15 minutes to cook, depending on their size. I recommend cutting one in half to check if it's cooked through.

Once fried, serve them with any summer salad (e.g., mixed salad with lettuce and tomato).
