No Yeast Bulgar Rolls with Onions and Raisins - Vegan

2 cups finely ground bulgar wheat, rinsed and drained

4 cups water

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 teaspoon salt

2 teaspoons cumin

1/4 teaspoon ground cardamom (optional)

1-1 1/2 cups whole wheat flour

1/2 cup raisins

1 medium onion, chopped

 

 

Place the bulgar, water, olive oil and salt in a pot. Bring to a boil, and skim

off any foam or particles that float to the top. Lower heat to medium and cook

until water is absorbed, about 5-8 minutes. Stir occasionally, to prevent bulgar

from sticking to the bottom of the pot.

 

Remove from heat and stir in 1 teaspoon cumin. Let cool until bulgar can be

easily handled. Add the flour and knead with the hands, pressing against the

sides of the pot, until the mixture easily sticks together and is firm enough to

form rolls. Set aside.

 

Heat enough olive oil to cover the bottom of a small skillet. Fry the onions

till golden brown. Add the raisins and cook an additional minute, stirring

constantly. Cool. Stir in the other teaspoon of cumin and the ground cardamom,

if desired. Mix well.

 

Form the bulgar mixture into 24 elongated rolls, wetting your hands in cold

water occasionally to aid

the process.

 

 

Holding one roll in the palm of the hand, and using the index finger of the

other hand, make an indentation along the length of

the roll, leaving space at the top and bottom.

 

 

Place a scant teaspoon of the onion-raisin filling along the indentation, and

seal by pinching the sides together. Roll between the

palms of the hands so that the roll is again uniform. Note: Patties or burgers

may also be made if desired: Make a ball, form a whole in the center with your

index finger, add filling, close up and flatten.

 

Place on a greased baking sheet and bake in a preheated 350F oven 35-45 minutes,

till golden brown, turning once. Or if you prefer, fry in olive or sesame oil

till browned on both sides.
