For vegan Cig Köfte, put the bulgur in a large bowl and pour 1 liter of hot water over it. Stir everything with a spoon, cover with a clean kitchen towel and let soak for about 10 minutes.

Add spring onions, pointed peppers, tomatoes, ground walnuts, paprika pulp, tomato paste, olive oil and spices and knead everything very well with your hands (put on gloves). If necessary, add more salt and spices to taste. Finally add the parsley and knead everything again.

If the vegan Cig Köfte mass is too dry for you, pour another 150 ml of hot water (or as required) over it at the end.

Now cover it up and let it rest for about 30 to 45 minutes. Moisten your hands, knead small meatballs from the mixture and serve vegan Cig Köfte with lettuce leaves.
