SAEDNEWS: How to prepare bulgur and lentil kofta, a healthy and diet-friendly meal suitable for weight loss and slimming. If you're looking to lose weight, be sure to try this delicious dish.
According to Saednews, Soak the lentils in advance. After soaking them for a few hours, cook them with some water and salt for 30 minutes, until soft. Then add the bulgur to the lentils. If there is not enough water, add a little more and let the bulgur cook alongside the lentils for another 30 minutes, until soft and most of the excess water has evaporated.
Meanwhile, place a frying pan over low heat and add some oil. Sauté the chopped onion until golden. Add the cumin and sauté briefly. Then drain the cooked lentils and bulgur and add them to the sautéed mixture. Allow the ingredients to cool slightly, wet your hands, and knead everything together for 3 to 5 minutes. If the mixture feels too dry, add a little water until it reaches a dough-like consistency.
Finally, add the chopped parsley along with a little salt and pepper. Shape the mixture into small round meatballs.
If the mixture sticks to your hands while shaping the meatballs, keep wetting your hands. Serve the prepared bulgur and lentil meatballs alongside fresh vegetables.
