Place the mince, onion, bulgur wheat, breadcrumbs, egg, parsley, dried mint, salt, chilli flakes, and freshly ground black pepper in a medium-sized mixing bowl.

Mix everything together until it’s thoroughly combined, then continue kneading it for another two minutes.

Shape them into small meatballs, as they will expand when cooked. Use water to wet your hands while shaping to ensure they do not stick to your palms.

Place the meatballs you shaped on a large plate or tray, and sprinkle on some flour making sure they are all nicely covered.

Melt the butter in a dutch oven or a heavy-based pan on medium heat and then add the pepper paste. You can replace the butter with olive oil.

Cook the pepper paste for a few minutes, stirring occasionally to avoid it burning before adding the potatoes and carrots.

Sauté the vegetables for another minute and then add the vegetable stock, chicken stock, or water along with the meatballs.

Bring the soup to a boil, cover the pan with a lid, lower the heat and gently simmer for 45 minutes or until the carrots&potatoes are cooked.

Remove it from the heat and serve immediately with a slice of crusty bread! Click on 👇 "learn more" for the full recipe with step-by-step instructions.
