Ingredients:

1 cup Bulgar wheat
2 cups coarsely chopped onions
1 lb extra lean ground beef (7% fat or less) or 1 lb lamb
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon salt
1/3 cup chopped parsley
black peppercorns
1 cup plain nonfat yogurt

Directions:

1 Place bulgur in a fine strainer and rinse thoroughly with cool water.
2 In 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.
3 Add bulgur and 1/4 cup parsley; whirl just to mix.
4 Pat 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.
