Bulgur wheat, cinnamon and cumin is what makes Lebanon Meatloaf different from everyday. I serve with a side of rice, a salad and a flat bread.
Ingredients
- 1 c
- bulgur wheat, uncooked
- 2 c
- onions, coarsely chopped
- 1 lb
- lean ground beef or lamb
- 1/2 tsp
- freshly ground black pepper
- 1/2 tsp
- cumin, ground
- 1/2 tsp

How to Make Lebanese Meat Loaf
- 1Place bulgur in a fine strainer and rinse thoroughly with cool water.
- 2In a food processor, finely chop the onions. Add beef, 1/2 cup water, pepper, cumin, cinnamon, and 1 teaspoon salt. Whirl until mixture is a smooth paste.
- 3Add bulgur and 1/4 cup parsley; whirl just to mix.
- 4Pat meat mixture evenly into a shallow 1- to 1 1/2-quart casserole. Cut through meat mixture to make diamonds 2 to 3 inches wide. Place a peppercorn in the center of each diamond.
- 5Bake, uncovered, in a 425° oven until meat is no longer pink in center (cut to test), about 25 minutes. Sprinkle with remaining parsley and add salt to taste.
- 6To serve, cut diamonds apart and accompany with yogurt.
