Bulgur Burgers

6–8 servings Source yield

Ingredients

  • 3 cups water
  • 2 cloves garlic
  • 1 ½ cups bulghur
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • ½ cup scallions, chopped
  • ½ cup carrots, grated
  • ¼ cup fresh parsley, chopped
  • ¼ cup tahini
  • 2 tablespoons tomato paste
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 dash ground black pepper

Make it step by step

  1. Bring the water to a boil.
  2. While it is heating, use a heavy pan or skillet to sauté the garlic and bulghur in the oil on medium-high heat for 2 minutes, stirring frequently.
  3. Add the boiling water to the skillet. Return to a boil, cover, and reduce heat to low.
  4. Simmer for 15 to 20 minutes, until all of the water is absorbed and the bulghur is soft but still chewy.
  5. When the bulghur is ready, stir in the scallions, carrots, parsley, tahini, tomato paste, soy sauce, mustard, and pepper. With moistened hands, form the bulghur mixture into 6 to 8 burgers.
  6. Cook the patties in a lightly-oiled heavy skillet on medium-low heat for about 10 minutes, flipping the burgers once when the outside is crunchy, or bake on an oiled baking sheet for 20 minutes at 375 °F (190 °C).
