Sounds interesting. Here bulgur is used to bind lean beef and lamb in small burgers, reducing the fat and boosting the fiber. Found this in Prevention magazine, July, 2007. Note: You need to soak the bulgur for an hour and then chill it for another 30 minutes. Ingredients:
1/3 cup medium bulgur |
1/3 lb ground lamb |
1/3 lb 95% lean ground beef |
1/2 medium onion, grated |
4 garlic cloves, minced |
1/4 cup fresh mint, finely chopped |
1 1/2 teaspoons red curry paste |
3/4 teaspoon ground cumin |
1/2 teaspoon ground allspice |
1/4 teaspoon ground coriander |
1/2 medium cucumber, grated, spun dry in salad spinner, about 1/2 cup |
1/3 cup low-fat plain yogurt, greek style |
1/4 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper |
12 large lettuce leaves |
1 medium tomato, chopped, about 1/2 cup |
Directions:
1. Soak bulgur in 1/3 cup hot water for 1 hour.
2. Combine the bulgur and the next 9 ingredients and then chill, covered for 30 minutes.
3. Mix cucumber, yogurt and pepper in a small bowl and season with salt.
4. Preheat the grill to medium-high.
5. Shape the meat mixture into 12 balls and flatten into thick mini burgers and season with salt.
6. Grill patties 4-8 minutes, turning once, until thermometer inserted registers 160 degrees F.
7. Wrap each burger in a lettuce leaf and serve with yogurt sauce and tomato.
