Now that the house is a little more under control I can return to doing some of the things I enjoy and cooking is one of my favorite things. This is a recipe that my Friend Yesim gave me and I made some alterations. This is a tasty little treat even vegans can enjoy.
1 cup red lentils
1/2 cup bulgar
2 cups water
1 lemon
1 medium onion
1/2 bunch green onion
1/3 Italian parsley
1-2 cloves garlic
1 tbs tomato paste or mixture of tomato paste and red pepper paste
1 tsp salt
1 tsp cumin
Boil water and lentils together until the water is almost gone. Take off the heat. Add the bulgar and stir. Cover and let it rest. Heat oil and medium onion until onion is soft. Add garlic, salt, cumin, and tomato paste stir and heat for about 2 min. Combine onion mixture with lentil mix let cool (make it cool enough to touch). Add green onion, parsley, and half the lemon. Stir if mixture seems wet let it rest a little longer it firms up. Make palm sized footballs. I make them in my hand, you can also use spoons. I like to slice up the rest of the lemon to add more while eating.
Enjoy!
