| The directions cracked me up... "Put on blander..." Huh? I had Paulo read the directions in Portuguese just to make sure I wouldn't mess it up! |
 |
| The three hours part wasn't so bad. I just had to let the wheat soak for that long. Easy peasy. |
 |
| So, per the directions, I put the onion and mint leaves "on blander" AKA in the food processor. Then threw it in with Bulgar wheat and 1/2 a pound of ground beef and some salt. |
 |
| Mix, mix, and then mix some more. And then, mix it again. |
 |
| The finished product! They are not the most beautiful, I know, but oh-so-tasty. |

Love this post and pictures!! P.S. there is a typo in the caption of your first pic ;)
ReplyDeleteThanks, Alex! I thought you were talking about "blander" and then I thought, "nope, no typo, that's what it said!" But then I saw I left out a word. Fixed it! :)
ReplyDeleteYummy. I want some, too.
ReplyDeleteThe secret is to cover the bulgar wheat with maybe 3-4 inches of water, but then SQUEEZE the heck out of it when it is done soaking it up. I used an old pillow case (so if anyone sleeps at my house some day and you dream of delicious food, that would be why) and squeezed, squeezed, squeezed until my hands and arms were sore. And you have to really mix the mixture until it comes out like toothpaste. Takes a while and a lot more squeezing, but in the end... bem gostoso!
