Somelek Meatballs

Today, I asked you a question in my Instagram story. You shared the bulgur recipes that you crave the most all day, and the flavors that you wish to eat, even if they were. At Masterchef right now, great meals are made with Filiz Mardin bulgur. I also made with Filiz Mardin Bulgur. Somelek Meatballs I share my recipe with you 😍

Also, I wanted to give you the news you received at Masterchef 🎉😍 @filizmakarna has now added bulgur to the pasta category, which it has been carefully producing with 100% Turkish durum wheat for 50 years.

You can find the geographically marked Filiz Mardin Bulgur, produced from golden yellow durum wheat grown in Mardin and known as the best quality wheat in the world, from all markets!

The most important trick while preparing my recipe is to knead very, very well. Then you will have delicious and delicious bulgur wheat meatballs that do not fall apart. You can also keep the extra meatballs in the freezer if you want.

How to Make Somelek Meatballs Recipe?
