Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Bulgar wheat
- 1.5 cups Boiling water
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 Small onion (finely diced)
- 2 cloves Garlic (minced)
- 1 medium Carrot (grated)
- 1 teaspoon Cumin
- 1 teaspoon Ground coriander
- 0.5 teaspoon Chili powder
- 1 Egg
- 0.75 cup Breadcrumbs
- 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro (chopped)
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 cup Mayonnaise
- 1 Lime (zested and juiced)
- 4 Buns
- 4 Lettuce leaves
- 4 Tomato slices
Instructions
Place the bulgar wheat in a heatproof bowl and pour the boiling water over it. Cover and let sit for 15 minutes until softened. Drain any excess water and set aside.
In a skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and cook for 3-4 minutes until softened. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute.
Stir in the grated carrot, cumin, ground coriander, and chili powder. Cook for 2-3 minutes, then remove from heat.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked bulgar wheat, the onion and carrot mixture, the egg, breadcrumbs, chopped cilantro, salt, and black pepper. Mix until thoroughly combined.
Form the mixture into 4 patties of equal size. Place them on a plate and refrigerate for 10 minutes to firm up.
While the patties are chilling, prepare the lime mayo by mixing the mayonnaise with the lime zest and lime juice in a small bowl. Set aside.
Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Cook the patties for 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and heated through.
Toast the buns lightly, if desired. Spread a generous amount of lime mayo on the bottom half of each bun.
Place a lettuce leaf on top of the mayo, followed by a cooked bulgar burger patty, a slice of tomato, and the top half of the bun.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Tasty Bulgar Burgers with Lime Mayo!
