Instructions:
-
Take the fine bulgur for meatballs in a deep mixing bowl. Cover it with 1 glass of hot water and let it rest for 1/2 hour until it softens,
-
On the other hand, finely chop the onion. Take the butter and a spoonful of oil in a pan, heat it and fry the onions until they turn pink.
-
Add 200 g minced meat to the roasted onion and fry it until the minced meat absorbs its juice. Add the garlic and continue frying.
-
Finely chop the walnut or pass it through the rondo (It should not be pulled too thin, it should come to the tooth)
-
Add walnuts, finely chopped parsley, salt and spices to the stuffing and let it rest by closing the bottom.
-
Add salt, semolina and 100 g raw minced meat to the swollen bulgur and knead until it becomes firm. Add 1 tablespoon of flour and salt and add water little by little to the mixture and continue kneading until it becomes a dough that will not stick to the hand.
-
Take egg-sized pieces from the dough and take them in your left palm and roll them. Make a hole in the middle of the meatballs by pressing with the thumb of your right hand. Open the edges by tapping them from bottom to top with two fingers. Put 1 spoonful of stuffing in the middle of the meatballs and close the edges to give a lemon shape. Flatten it in rounds with your wet hand.
-
Dip the meatballs in beaten egg and fry in hot oil until golden brown. Serve hot or warm, garnished with fresh greens and lemon wedges. Bon Appetit!
-
Note: For a mild flavor, add a teaspoon of salt and a teaspoon of lemon salt to plenty of boiling water and drop the rolled meatballs into boiling water slowly with the help of a colander ladle and boil them on medium heat. When the cooked meatballs rise above the water, boil them for another 5-6 seconds, transfer them to the serving plate, serve hot with lemon slices.
