Cooking Steps
- Add 2/3 cup (1 cup) water and 1/2 tsp (1 tsp) salt to a medium pot. Cover and bring to a boil over high heat.
- Once boiling, stir in bulgur until water returns to a boil. Cover and remove from heat.
- Let stand until bulgur is tender and liquid is absorbed, 12-15 min.
- Meanwhile, zest, then juice half the lemon (whole lemon for 4 ppl).
- Cut cucumber into 1/4-inch half-moons.
- Cut tomato into 1/4-inch pieces.
- Roughly chop parsley.
- Add hummus, mayo, 1/2 tbsp (1 tbsp) water and 1/2 tbsp (1 tbsp) lemon juice to a small bowl. Season with salt and pepper, then whisk to combine. Set aside.
- In a medium bowl, add remaining lemon juice and 1/2 tbsp (1 tbsp) oil. (TIP: Add a pinch of sugar to dressing, if desired!) Whisk to combine, then season with salt and pepper. Set aside.
- Add tomtato, spring mix and cucumbers to the large bowl with lemon dressing.

- Once bulgur is tender, add 3 tbsp (6 tbsp) cooked bulgur, ground beef, Sharwarma Spice Blend, 1/4 tsp (1/2 tsp) salt, 1/8 tsp (1/4 tsp) pepper and half the parsley to another large bowl, then combine.
- Roll mixture into 4 (8) equal-sized patties.
- Heat a large non-stick pan over medium heat.

Review summary
Updated on Feb 2026- Flavor: The lemon sauce drizzled on top makes this dish spectacular, with a nice balance of flavors.
- Ease of prep: Bulgur wheat was easy to prepare, and the recipe was straightforward for most cooks.
- Suggestions: Consider using yogurt instead of mayo for a more traditional and healthier sauce option.
- Portions: Some found the grain and salad portions quite small, especially for two people.
- Texture: The bulgur in the patties created a crunchy exterior and fluffy interior, though it may affect binding.
