Bulgur Croquettes with Yogurt Sauce (Şark köftesi)



2 cups thin bulgur * 1 1/2 cup hot water * 2 tbsp dried mint * 1 onion * 2-3 tbsp flour * 1 egg white * salt

For the sauce:

1 cup yogurt * 2-3 garlic cloves * 30 g margarine * 2 tsp red pepper

Soak the bulgur in hot water until it gets soft and until all the water evaporates. Add to the bulgur the minced onion, the mint, the flour, the egg white and the salt. Knead well until you get a consistent dough and, if necessary, add some water. Separate portions on the amount of a walnut and give an oval shape to each one. Bring to boil water with salt. Put the croquettes in the boiling water for 1-2 minutes. Place the croquettes in a serving plate. Prepare the sauce. Mix the yogurt with the minced garlic. Bring to low heat the margarine with the red pepper. Cover the croquettes with the yogurt and then with the margarine. Serve hot.
