Bulgur patties — a new recipe we hope you enjoy

Ingredients

Start here, then move straight into the method.

  • 3 cups flour
  • 1 cup fine bulgur
  • 1/2 cup olive oil
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 tablespoon salt
  • 1 medium spoon cake spice (dakkat al-kaak)
  • Sesame seeds
  • Water as needed
  • From the Arab kitchen, here is also a delicious kunafa for breakfast at the link: Knafeh with Mozzarella Cheese

Method

Follow the cooking sequence without leaving the page.

  1. Soak the bulgur with a little water, then add it to the flour and rub them together.
  2. Add the salt, cake spice mix (dakat al-ka'ak), sesame and oil, and mix.
  3. Add water gradually until you get a cohesive dough — they will need about a small cup of water because the bulgur is moist and the oil is sufficient; if you need a little more water, add it slowly according to the dough's needs.
  4. Start working with the bulgur patties dough immediately — it does not need resting time.
  5. Shape the dough into balls and press the balls into a cookie or cake stamp, or you can flatten them by hand.
  6. Arrange the bulgur patties on a baking tray and bake until cooked.
  7. Serve the bulgur patties with labneh and cheese.
