Bulgur Wheat Patties with spicy tahini sauce Recipe

So…  are you tired of eating, hearing about and reading about fried food yet?

Ok, we know Hanukkah is not over yet and we still have a few more days to go but… we’re ready to take a little break from the whole oil thing. Are you?

If you agree, you’ll probably love this recipe. To lighten things up a bit we’ve decided to “cheat” a little… In a good way.

How? Well, we’re taking our mom’s classic recipe for bulgur wheat patties (one of our favorite treats as kids which she usually fries) and we’re baking them instead. So the whole oil and frying theme is still there even though we’re not technically frying anything… Kind of like a recipe makeover. Get it?   Bulgur Wheat Patties with spicy tahini sauce Recipe

Surprisingly, this lightened up version is even better than the original. And we’re not just saying that, even our mom agrees!

After all, that’s what makeovers are all about, aren’t they?

Hope you enjoy them as much as we do!

    I couldn’t find fine bulgur wheat so I used the regular stuff. I soaked it ALL DAY and still they turned out like crunchy, under-cooked rice. Second Pinterest flop this week. Getting real tired of this..

      Hi Chelsea, so sorry this recipe didn’t work our for you. It should have worked with regular bulgur wheat as well. Since we cannot always find fine bulgur wheat either we sometimes use Bob’s Red Mill Bulgur wheat and it gets soft just by soaking it hot water. We will have to redo this recipe to see if there is a mistake in the instructions. Hope you had a great summer.
