Burghul Balls
- Soak the burghul in 500ml of warm water for 30 minutes, then drain well to remove excess moisture.
- Place the butternut pumpkin in a microwave container and cover with water. Cook in the microwave until soft. Drain well, then mash.
- Combine the burghul and mashed pumpkin in a bowl with the onion, cumin, pepper, mint, chilli powder, and flour. Mix well to combine.
- Roll spoonfuls of the mixture into balls and set on a plate, ready to add to the soup. If the mixture is too loose, add a little more flour.
