Ingredients
Method
– Place the bulgur in a large mixing bowl. Pour in 295ml hot water, stir, and let the bulgur absorb the water.
– Note: If bulgur still looks raw, pour in about 1fl oz / 30ml more hot water and combine well. Let the bulgur absorb all the water and then set aside to cool.
– Stir in the eggs, flour, tomato paste, salt, pepper, cumin, and 1/2 a teaspoon of the red pepper flakes.
– Have a bowl of cold water handy to wet your hands and knead the mixture until all ingredients are well combined, elastic, and smooth.
– Sprinkle some flour on a tray.
– Form the bulgur balls (each about the size of a large cherry) and place them on the floured tray. Roll the bulgur balls over the flour and make sure they are coated well.
– Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Gently drop the bulgur balls into the pot and let them cook uncovered over medium heat for 8 minutes or so. Once cooked, the bulgur balls will rise to the surface.
– Take out the cooked bulgur balls with a slotted spoon and place them on a large plate or rack.
– For the yogurt and spinach base; mix the garlic with the yogurt. In a large bowl, combine the garlicy yoghurt with the spinach. Season with salt and pepper.
– And finally, for the drizzle; melt the butter in a saucepan and stir in the remaining red pepper flakes and dried mint.
– Gently stir in the bulgur balls and combine well with the sauce.
– Serve the bulgur balls over the yogurt and spinach base with a side salad.
