These Jordanian-inspired patties are made by kneading red lentils and fine bulgur with grated carrot and spices, then cooking them in an air fryer without deep-frying. Cumin gives the patties their distinctive flavor.

Step by Step

How to make it?

1

Cook the lentils and bulgur

10 min

Simmer the red lentils in water until tender. Stir in the fine bulgur, cover, and let it stand.

2

Add the vegetables and knead

5 min

Once the lentil and bulgur mixture has cooled to lukewarm, add the grated carrot, onion, parsley, cumin, olive oil, and salt. Knead to combine.

3

Shape the patties

5 min

Press and shape small patties in your palm.

4

Air-fry the patties

10 min

Arrange the patties with space between them in the air-fryer basket. Cook until browned on the outside, turning them halfway through.

Reminder

Let the lentil and bulgur mixture cool until lukewarm before shaping; while hot, it will stick to your hands. Contains wheat (gluten) from the bulgur.
