Instructions

  1. Coarsely grate the onion and finely grate the garlic. Knead all ingredients together. If time is available, cover and steep in the refrigerator for an hour. The bulgur becomes soft, the mass firmer overall. But you can also continue immediately after kneading.
  2. Now, depending on the preparation, either small eggs are formed from the mixture and pressed flat (for frying in the pan), large, flat burgers are formed (for grilling) or slightly thicker eggs (for deep-frying). The minced meat won`t stick to your hands if you grease your hands with oil beforehand.
  3. You can also process the mass in other ways, for example you can layer it between potato slices in a baking dish, top it with homemade tomato sauce and put it in the oven. There are no limits to the imagination.

About Editorial Staff

The Boss Kitchen editorial staff oversees content review, fact-checking, and recipe verification across the site. Published articles pass through the editorial team before going live, ensuring ingredient lists, techniques, cooking times, and nutritional claims hold up in a home kitchen. The team coordinates contributions across the site writers, handles reader corrections, and maintains consistency in measurement conventions, safety guidance, and dietary labeling. Posts under this byline typically represent team-reviewed reference material, site announcements, or editorial roundups rather than individual-author features, and they are held to the same sourcing standards as bylined recipe and product coverage.
