Method

  1. 1

    Put the fine bulgur wheat in a bowl, cover with 100ml just-boiled water, cover and leave for 10 minutes to soften.

  2. 2

    Mash the tinned chickpeas roughly with a fork, then mix in the softened bulgur, grated onion, garlic cloves, ground cumin, pul biber and flat-leaf parsley; season well.

  3. 3

    Shape into 12 small patties, squeezing firmly so they hold together.

  4. 4

    Heat the olive oil in a frying pan and fry the patties for 3-4 minutes each side until golden and crisp.

  5. 5

    Drain briefly on paper towel and serve warm.
