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.

Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 10

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 cinnamon, ground
1 tsp kosher salt or to taste
1/3 c fresh parsley, chopped
peppercorns, whole black
1 c plain yogurt

Steps:

  • 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.
  • 5. Bake, 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.
  • 6. To serve, cut diamonds apart and accompany with yogurt.

I used a combination of beef and pork for this meatloaf, and it turned out great. I think the pork added a bit of extra moisture to the meatloaf.
