Vegetarian Kofta Kabobs

Combine the bulgur wheat and vegetable stock in a saucepan.

Bring to a boil, then simmer for about 10 minutes, or until liquid has

been absorbed. Set aside to cool.

Meanwhile, in a large bowl, combine the adzuki beans, 2

tablespoons of olive oil, onion, garlic, cumin, coriander, cilantro, hot

sauce, and the egg. Mash with a potato masher or sturdy whisk

until fairly smooth. Soak the bread in milk, then squeeze out the

excess; add to the bean mixture along with the bulgur. Mix using

your hands until everything is well blended. Cover, and refrigerate

for 1 hour, or until firm.

Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).

Wet your hands, and form the kofta into 32 oval shapes. Press onto

skewers four at a time. Brush with remaining olive oil. Place on a

baking sheet or broiling pan.

Bake for 10 to 15 minutes in the preheated oven. Turn over, brush

again with oil, and continue baking for 5 to 10 minutes, until crispy.
