Steps

1

Finely chop the lamb fat in a food processor and transfer it to a large mixing bowl.
2

Soak the bulgur in warm water for about 15 minutes, then drain it well.
3

Next, chop the onions finely in the food processor (after removing the fat), then squeeze out the excess liquid. Use only the onion pulp for mixing.
4

In a bowl, combine the lamb fat, ground meat, onion pulp, drained bulgur, chopped parsley, salt, black pepper, and spices. Mix everything thoroughly.
5

Shape the mixture into kofta logs, making sure they are slightly hollow in the center, and arrange them on a baking sheet.
6

Pour the reserved onion juice (it will be a bit thick from the fat) over the kofta before baking.
7

Bake in a preheated oven at high heat for about 20 minutes.
8

Meanwhile, prepare the grilled salad.
9

Serve the kofta on top of the salad and enjoy!
