Add soaked bulgur to the meat mixture and combine well.

Form the mixture into small balls or patties.

Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat until shimmering.

Fry the kubba until golden brown on all sides, about 4-5 minutes per side.

Alternatively, preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and bake kubba on a greased sheet for 20-25 minutes.

Prepare a sauce by sautéing garlic and green chili in olive oil until fragrant.

Stir in lemon juice and additional herbs to the sauce before serving.

Serve kubba hot with the sauce on the side.
