Ingredients for Lentil Meatballs Recipe
  • 1.5 cups of red lentils
  • 3 cups fine bulgur
  • 2 bunches of parsley
  • 1 large size onion
  • 2 fresh garlic cloves
  • 6 spring onions
  • 5 tablespoons tomato paste
  • 2 tablespoons of pepper paste
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • 1 teaspoon of salt
  • 1 teaspoon of chili pepper
  • 60 milliliters of olive oil

How to Make Lentil Meatballs Recipe?

  • Wash the lentils and cook them with about 6-7 glasses of water, adding cumin. When it is cooked well and the water decreases, add fine bulgur and cook for another 2-3 minutes.
  • Chop the onion into cubes, fry half of it in a pan in plenty of olive oil until it turns pink, turn off the heat and add red pepper.
  • Since the onion will continue to fry in the heat of the oil, it is important to turn off the heat when it turns pink, otherwise our onions may burn.
  • Put the lentils in the mixing bowl, add salt, tomato paste and the rest of the diced onions and knead well.
  • Then, onion oil is added to it, mixed well, and finally, finely chopped parsley, onion and garlic are added, kneaded some more and then shaped. Enjoy your meal.
