Instructions
Step 1
-Wash lentils and boil them on medium heat in 2 cups of water until the water is almost gone.
Step 2
-Once you turn it off, add bulgur and salt. Mix once and cover to let the bulgur expand. Let it cool off.
Step 3
-Heat oil in a pan and add the onion (not the green one!) and cook until soft.
Step 4
-Add tomato paste and cook for another 1-2 minutes.
Step 5
-Add cumin and stir once you turn it off.
Step 6
-Add this to the lentils which should be cool by now.
Step 7
-Add lemon juice and half of finely chopped parsley and green onion (we're saving the rest of parsley and green onions to garnish) to the lentils. Mix all well.
Step 8
-Take walnut size pieces and give them kofte shape in your hands. Keep a little bowl of water close by to wet your hand frequently during this process since the kofte mixture will get stuck on your hands.
Step 9
-You can either place lettuce leaves on a serving plate and put koftes on top as in the picture, or serve koftes and lettuce leaves separately, or skip lettuce leaves completely; however, they reallly go well together.
