Bulgur with meatballs in tomato sauce

Ingredients

Bulgur 100 g

Lemon 1/4 pc

Cinnamon 1 stick

Ground meat 300 g

Olive oil 2 tbsp

For the sauce:

Tomato in its own juice 300 ml

Cilantro 1 bunch

Chives 1 bunch

Bell pepper 1 pc

Salt to taste

Ground black pepper to taste

Pour the bulgur into a saucepan, add the cinnamon and lemon. Pour boiling water into the mixture in a 1:2 ratio and simmer over low heat until tender, 10-12 minutes.

While the bulgur is cooking, form the ground meat into small meatballs. Heat the oil in a frying pan and fry the meatballs until golden brown.

 Place the tomatoes, herbs, and peppers in a blender and puree. Pour the sauce into the pan with the meatballs. Bring to a boil, simmer for a couple of minutes, and remove from heat.

Serve the bulgur with the meatballs, drizzling the sauce over them.

Enjoy!
