Method
- 1
Soak the bulgur wheat in warm water for 15 minutes, then drain well and knead to a smooth, pliable dough.
- 2
Fry half the grated onion in 1 tablespoon of the oil for 4 minutes, add the beef mince and cumin and cook for 6-7 minutes until no pink remains, then cool slightly.
- 3
Take a golf-ball-sized piece of bulgur dough, flatten in your palm, place a spoonful of the beef filling in the centre and mould the dough around it to seal into a smooth ball.
- 4
Heat the remaining oil in a large pot and fry the remaining onion for 4 minutes, then add the tinned tomatoes, tomato puree and beef stock and bring to a simmer.
- 5
Carefully lower in the bulgur dumplings and simmer gently for 25-30 minutes until they float and are cooked through.
- 6
Season the broth with salt and pepper.
- 7
Ladle into bowls, making sure each portion gets dumplings and broth.
