1 1/2 cup Bulgur (coarse crush), 2 cups prepared chickpeas, 2 large onions, 200g minced meat, 3 Tblspn vegetable oil, salt to taste, black pepper 1/4 tea spoon, 1/2 tea spoon ground cinnamon, 1/2 tea spoon Cumin.


Preparation:
Cook meat for about 10-15 minutes in the vegetable oil. Peal and cut the onion into small pieces (apx 3x3cm). Add chopped onion to the meat mix and cook till onion is soft and slightly yellow but not burnt. Add the chickpeas and mix gently. Let simmer for 3-4 minutes. Wash the bulgur and mix it with the spices then add to the meat mix. Mix gently then add water just enough to cover the mix (apx 1 cup). Cover the pot and let simmer till water dries out. If bulgur is still hard, gradually add small amounts of water and cover again to simmer for extra few minutes. Serve warm along with green salad, radish, or plain yogurt.
