Turkish Meatballs - cooking recipe
Ingredients
-
1 cup dried Bulgar wheat
1 lb ground lamb
1 onion, finely chopped
3 cloves garlic, chopped
1/4 cup raisins, soaked in hot water
2 teaspoons cumin
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon allspice
1 egg
fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Preparation
-
Cook the bulgur by covering it with a cup of boiling water and letting it soak in a covered bowl for about 10 minutes.
Uncover and let cool for a few minutes.
Meanwhile, put the rest of the ingredients except the parsley in a mixing bowl.
Add in the cooled bulgur and use your hands to thoroughly mix everything together.
Roll them with your hands into balls around the same size as a golf ball and flatten them a little.
Now you can either bake them in a hot oven for around 10 minutes or fry them in hot oil until they are browned all over.
Serve with parsley sprinkled on top.
