- ¼ cup fresh herbs (parsley or mint)
Instructions

Soak the 1 cup bulgur in hot water for 10 minutes, then drain well, squeezing out excess moisture.

In a food processor, combine the soaked bulgur, 1 pound ground beef, 1 chopped onion, 1 tsp salt, and 1/2 tsp black pepper. Pulse until a smooth paste forms.
