Ingredients
Chicken Bulgur Meatballs
- Ingredients
- 160 grams fine Bulgur
- 300 milliliters Vegetable broth
- 2 onions (each about 50 grams)
- 2 Tbsps Canola oil
- 2 tsps mild Ajvar (about 15 grams)
- 1 tsp ground Cumin
- salt
- peppers
- 2 eggs
- 1 tsp ground paprika (sweet)
- 300 grams ground chicken
Place bulgur in a large bowl. Boil broth in a pot, pour over bulgur and let soak for 30 minutes.
Meanwhile, peel the onion and chop finely.
Heat oil in a skillet and cook the onions until translucent.
Add onions to bulgur. Season with ajwar, cumin, salt and pepper. Mix everything well and let cool slightly.
Meanwhile, place the eggs in a bowl and whisk together with the paprika.
Add to the bulgur along with the chicken. Thoroughly beat with a hand mixer.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. With moistened hands, form chicken mixture into small balls and place on sheet. Bake on middle rack of preheated oven at 180°C (fan 160°C, gas: mark 2-3) (approximately 350°F) until cooked through, about 10 minutes. Then place meatballs on a hot grill (or grill pan) and cook until browned, 5-7 minutes more.
