Wheat Balls With Tomatoes (Vegan Meatballs, Aka Kibbeh Heelah) - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    Wheat Balls
    2 cups bulgur (wheat, finely ground)
    1 1/4 cups flour
    1 grated onion (and the juice)
    1 tablespoon coriander, ground
    Sauce for Wheat Balls
    3 ounces tomato paste
    1/2 cup water
    1/4 cup oil (preferably olive)
    3 onions, sliced in long slivers
    3 garlic cloves (at least!)
    2 tablespoons ground coriander
    5 ounces lemon juice (juice of 5 lemons)
Preparation
    For Wheat Balls:
    Knead with water to form into 1 to 1 1/2\" balls.
    Fill a large pot halfway with water, bring to a boil, gently add balls to water and cook for about twenty minutes.
    Check the inside of a ball to make certain that they are done. If so, they should not have clumps of flour on the inside.
    For Sauce:
    Bring tomato paste and lemon juice to a low boil, then simmer for fifteen minutes.
    Meanwhile, fry onions in oil until cooked; add garlic and coriander and cook for another minute.
    Add to tomato sauce and simmer for half an hour.
    Pour sauce over kibbeh and serve.
