Anleitung
- 1.Prepare the bulgur wheat according to package directions. Typically, this involves covering it with double the volume of boiling water and letting it sit for 15-20 minutes until the liquid is absorbed. Fluff with a fork and set aside to cool.
- 2.In a large bowl, combine the ground lamb, half of the chopped red onion, minced garlic, half of the parsley and mint, cumin, coriander, salt, and pepper. Mix gently with your hands until just combined, being careful not to overwork the meat.
- 3.Divide the mixture into 12 equal portions and shape them into small ovals or logs (koftas).
- 4.Heat 15ml (1 tablespoon) of olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the koftas in batches for 6-8 minutes, turning occasionally, until browned on all sides and cooked through.
- 5.While the koftas cook, prepare the salad. In a large bowl, combine the cooled bulgur, cucumber, cherry tomatoes, red bell pepper, and the remaining red onion, parsley, and mint.
- 6.In a small jar, whisk together the lemon juice, the remaining 30ml of olive oil, salt, and pepper to create the dressing. Pour over the bulgur salad and toss to combine.
- 7.Serve the warm lamb koftas immediately with the fresh bulgur salad.
