Ingredients

• 500 grams ground beef
• 1 cup fine bulgur for meatballs
• 1 onion (grated)
• 2 cloves garlic (minced)
• 1 bunch fresh parsley (finely chopped)
• 1 teaspoon tomato paste
• 1 teaspoon pepper paste
• 1 teaspoon cumin
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 tea glass vegetable oil

Method

1. Place the fine bulgur in a bowl, add warm water just to cover, and let it swell for 10 minutes.
2. Add ground beef, grated onion, garlic, pastes, parsley, and spices to the swelled bulgur.
3. Knead thoroughly for about 10-15 minutes until the ingredients are well combined and paste-like.
4. Grease a round baking tray generously with vegetable oil.
5. Press the meat mixture evenly into the tray with your hands and score the top into diamond or square slices.
6. Bake in a preheated oven at 190°C (375°F) for about 35 minutes until browned and cooked through.

Dip your hands in cold water occasionally while kneading the meat mixture to make the process easier.
