- Boil the dock leaves in water for a couple of minutes and repeat. Drain and pat dry with kitchen paper.
- Meanwhile, mix one tablespoon of the walnut oil with the mince, onion, lemon juice, bulgur wheat, tomato and mixed spice until well combined. Add a little of the water to loosen the mixture if necessary.
