scallions and cayenne, stirring well. Stir in bread crumbs, 1/4 cup of
flour, ketchup and mustard. - Preheat oven to 400F. Form bulgur mixture into 4 patties about 1 inch
thick and 4 inches in diameter. Dredge patties in remaining flour. - In large no-stick skillet, heat oil over medium heat. Add patties to skillet
and saute until crusty, about 4 minutes per side. Transfer to a non-
