Well, I didn't make this with koftas but we enjoyed it just the same! In an effort to work in a bit more protein I used quinoa instead of bulgur and it worked out great; I'm sure it changed the texture a bit but the flavor was still all there. I added a bit more lemon juice when all was said and done (I like tangy tabbouleh), and several generous shakes of salt and pepper as well. This was great served with falafel and salad. Thanks for posting! Made for PAC Spring 2010.
