Ingredients for Sakarya Bowl

Method

Instructions for Sakarya Bowl

1

Prepare the Meatballs

In a large bowl, combine ground beef, breadcrumbs, egg, minced garlic, grated onion, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are combined.

2

Shape the Meatballs

Form the mixture into small meatballs, about 1 inch in diameter.

3

Cook the Meatballs

In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the meatballs and cook until browned on all sides, about 8-10 minutes. Remove the meatballs and set aside.

4

Make the Tomato Sauce

In the same skillet, add crushed tomatoes and dried oregano. Bring to a simmer and let cook for 5 minutes. Return the meatballs to the skillet, cover, and simmer for an additional 10-15 minutes.

5

Prepare the Tabbouleh

While the meatballs are cooking, prepare the tabbouleh. In a bowl, combine bulgar wheat with boiling water and let it sit for about 15 minutes until tender. Drain excess water if necessary.

6

Mix the Tabbouleh

Add chopped parsley, mint, diced cucumber, diced tomato, lemon juice, and salt to the bulgar wheat. Mix well.

7

Serve

To serve, place a portion of tabbouleh in a bowl, top with meatballs and tomato sauce. Garnish with additional parsley if desired.
