Add a photoTraditionally, Kheyma is a made with meat (raw beef patty). However, during Lent many Armenians prefer Vospov Kheyma as a vegetarian alternative. Our friends the Bedrosians brought these over as an appetizer last night. He said it was a bit spicier than his mother usually made, but we all thought they were perfect. If you want less of a kick, dial back the cayenne. If you've never tried these before - and if you aren't Armenian or Turkish you probably haven't - you're in for a real treat. As Brian would say, "They are fantastic!"
Ingredientes
- 1 cup red or yellow lentils (our family always used red)
- 2 large yellow onions finely chopped
- 1 bunch parsley â chopped (I used about ½ a bunch)
- 4 â green onions â chopped
- ½ stick butter
- ½ cup veg. oil
- 2 ½ cups water (or chicken broth)
- ½ tsp cayenne
- ½ tsp cumin
- ½ tsp paprika
- 1 Cup bulghour (fine or medium â I used #4)
- Salt and pepper to taste
Direcciones
- Cook lentils in water(broth) for 1-1.5 hours our until very soft (no salt, uncovered)
- Sauté onions on oil and butter until transluscent
- Drain excess water from lentils, if any. In a large bowl, mix lentils, onions, bulghour and spices gently with a spoon. Cover and let stand 15 mins. (if mixture is soft, you can add more bulghour and the additional water here)
- If desired, you can add half the green onions and parsley to the mix before shaping or serving
- Use approx. ¼ cup of mix to form small balls or rolls about 1 inch thick. As you can see from the picture, I rolled them into longer rolls and then cut them into about 2 inch lengths.
- Sprinkle the remaining green onion and parsley on top for a garnish.

This was just amazing. I had two left over pieces this morning for a make shift breakfast, and they were just as delicious as last night. The combination of lentils and bulgur provides a nice hearty texture. Healthy and delicious!Yo he cocinado/probado esta receta

22 de Enero de 2016I'm so looking forward to making this. I haven't had it in over thirty years and I love it!
Question...what are the curious As with the little symbol on top mean?
Should I just ignore those?
13 de Marzo de 2013A lentil recipe that i may be able to recreate. Thanks for sharing. I really want to try to make a good lentil dish soon.
12 de Marzo de 2013I was never a big lentil fan growing up - except in soup, so I never got around to making these until last year sometime, but they really are awesome!! I haven't had actual Kheyma since I was a kid. I sometimes wonder if this was the "poor man's version," or maybe an alternative they came up with during Lent, etc.1 reply
