Vegan Meatball Ingredients

Method

Preparation Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Bulgur

    In a large bowl, combine the fine bulgur and hot water. Cover and let it sit for about 15 minutes until the bulgur absorbs the water and becomes soft.

  2. 2

    Mix Ingredients

    Once the bulgur is soft, add the tomato paste, chopped onion, minced garlic, parsley, red pepper flakes, cumin, salt, black pepper, olive oil, and lemon juice to the bowl. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are well combined.

  3. 3

    Shape the Meatballs

    With wet hands, take small portions of the mixture and form them into small balls or patties, about the size of a golf ball. You should get approximately 10 pieces.

  4. 4

    Chill and Serve

    Place the formed meatballs on a plate and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to firm up. Serve chilled or at room temperature.
