Cal Smart Middle Eastern-Inspired Beef Patties

with Mint Tabbouleh and Lemon Aioli

Fresh and herbaceous, tabbouleh is a staple in Lebanese fare. It is typically made with parsley, but we've adapted this version with fragrant fresh mint and paired it with spiced beef patties and flavourful lemon aioli.

Instructions

Cook bulgur
1
  • Add 2/3 cup (1 cup) water and half the stock powder to a medium pot. Cover and bring to a boil over high heat.
  • Meanwhile, chill a large plate in the freezer.
  • Once boiling, stir in bulgur, then return to a boil. Cover and remove from heat.
  • Let stand until bulgur is tender and liquid is absorbed, 16-18 min.
  • Fluff bulgur with a fork, then transfer to the chilled plate. Toss a few times to help bulgur cool.
  • Set aside in the fridge until ready to use.
Prep
2
  • Meanwhile, peel, then mince or grate garlic.
  • Roughly chop spinach.
  • Pick mint leaves from stems, then thinly slice leaves.
  • Zest, then juice lemon.
  • Halve tomatoes.
  • Add turkey, panko, Shawarma Spice Blend, remaining stock powder and 1/4 tsp (1/2 tsp) garlic to a medium bowl.
  • Season with pepper, then combine.
Form and cook beef patties
3
  • Heat a large non-stick pan over medium heat.
  • While the pan heats, form mixture into four 1/2-inch-thick patties (8 patties for 4 ppl). (NOTE: Your mixture may look wet; this is normal!)
  • When the pan is hot, add 2 tsp (1 tbsp) oil, then patties. Pan-fry until cooked through, 4-6 min per side.**
Make lemon aioli
4
  • Add mayo, lemon zest, 1/2 tsp (1 tsp) lemon juice and 1/4 tsp (1/2 tsp) garlic to a small bowl.
  • Season with salt and pepper, then stir to combine.
Finish tabbouleh
5
  • Add remaining garlic, 2 tsp (4 tsp) lemon juice and 1 tbsp (1 1/2 tbsp) oil to a large bowl, then whisk to combine.
  • Add spinach, tomatoes, mint and chilled bulgur. (TIP: It's okay if bulgur is still a little warm.) Toss to combine.
  • Season with salt and pepper.
Finish and serve
6
  • Divide mint tabbouleh between bowls.
  • Arrange beef patties on top, then dollop with lemon aioli.
