Ingredients
1 cup of coarse bulgur wheat
Half a tablespoon of tomato paste (optional)
Half tablespoon of pepper paste (optional)
1 cup boiled and shredded chicken breast
Half a cup of boiled chickpeas
1 tablespoon of olive oil
Half a tablespoon of butter
1.5 cups of boiled water (or chicken stock or broth)
Dried mint, cayenne pepper and salt to taste
Recipe
- Put the bulgur in a wire strainer. Wash well with lukewarm water. Continue washing until the water flowing from the bulgur becomes clear. Let the water drain
- Get a large but not deep pot and start preheating it. Put the olive oil in the pot you have set on medium heat after it warms up a little. Add the olive oil first and then add the butter. Mix the two and wait until it gets hot.
- Add the bulgur, which has been sufficiently drained, to the sufficiently heated oils and start roasting. After frying for 3-5 minutes, add the tomato and pepper paste and continue frying. Meanwhile, add the salt. Then pour the boiled water over it and increase the heat. Close the lid of the pot.
- When the meal starts to boil, put it on the smallest burner on the stove. Set the flame to the lowest setting and continue to boil in this way until the bulgur is fully cooked and the water runs out. Do not open the lid of the pot at this stage.
- Put the boiled and shredded chicken on the bulgur that has absorbed its water. Add boiled chickpeas. Mix gently. Then level the mixed food with the back of a large spoon. Sprinkle dried mint on top. Put a towel or towel napkin between the pot and the lid and close the lid tightly. Turn off the stove and wait for the food to infuse for about 40 minutes.

Per Serving
Calories: 434
Net Carb: 17g
Total Fat: 23g
Protein: 33g
Ingredients
2 lb eggplant
1 tablespoon of olive oil
For the meatballs:
1,1 pound of ground beef
1 onion
1 tablespoon of tomato paste
Half a tablespoon of chili paste
Salt
Isot if possible (or 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper)
1 teaspoon of black pepper
Recipe
- Start by grating the onion to bring out this amazing flavor. Add minced meat, tomato paste, salt, isot and black pepper to the grated onion and knead together.
- Slice the eggplants into sections. 3 finger thickness is ideal. Now we’re going to start laying it on the tray. For this, make flat meatballs from the meat you kneaded. Arrange eggplant and a meatball, respectively, in a circle. Put the tomatoes you cut in the middle of the circle. (You can cut it into rings or large slices).
- Dip your hand in the oil and rub it over the eggplants. (This prevents the tops from drying out)
- Bake at 220 or 250 degrees until the eggplants release their water and then absorb it again. Cook for about 1 hour. We recommend controlled baking as this time may vary according to each oven. The dish will be ready when the eggplants are baked.
