Ingredients
-
1 cup bulgur
-
2 cups vegetable broth or stock
-
1 (18.75 ounce) can adzuki beans
-
2 tablespoons olive oil
-
1 onion, finely chopped
-
3 cloves garlic, minced
-
1 teaspoon ground cumin
-
1 teaspoon ground coriander
-
2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
-
2 teaspoons hot pepper sauce
-
1 egg, beaten
-
1 cup stale whole wheat bread cubes
-
1 cup skim milk
-
salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
-
1 tablespoon olive oil
-
8 (12-inch) skewers
Directions
-
Combine the bulgur wheat and vegetable stock in a saucepan. Bring to a boil, then simmer for about 10 minutes, or until liquid has been absorbed. Set aside to cool.
-
Meanwhile, in a large bowl, combine the adzuki beans, 2 tablespoons of olive oil, onion, garlic, cumin, coriander, cilantro, hot sauce, and the egg. Mash with a potato masher or sturdy whisk until fairly smooth. Soak the bread in milk, then squeeze out the excess; add to the bean mixture along with the bulgur. Mix using your hands until everything is well blended. Cover, and refrigerate for 1 hour, or until firm.
-
Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
-
Wet your hands, and form the kofta into 32 oval shapes. Press onto skewers four at a time. Brush with remaining olive oil. Place on a baking sheet or broiling pan.
-
Bake for 10 to 15 minutes in the preheated oven. Turn over, brush again with oil, and continue baking for 5 to 10 minutes, until crispy.
