The result is a very tasty, substantial and inexpensive dish.

1. Wash the lentils and cook them in water until lentils are soft.

2. Near the end of the cooking time add the bulghur wheat. Let the
bulgur soften for a while.

3. Meanwhile sauté the chopped onions and garlic in olive oil.

4. Add the tomato paste, ajvar and spices.

5. Combine all the ingredients in a large bowl and let the mixture
cool for a while, so that you don't burn your fingers while shaping
them. If you add a grated potatoe the mixture keeps together.

6. Shape them into patties and serve on a plate. Serve with pickles
