2 lbs. very lean top round steak, ground twice
1 c. bulghur (cracked wheat)
1/2 green pepper
2 med. onions
1 handful mint (dried or fresh)
Salt & pepper to taste
1/2 tsp. cinnamon
1/2 tsp. allspice
1 tbsp. cumin
1 tsp. basil

Wash and soak until soft; drain.

In blender blend green pepper, onions, mint and all spices. Add this mixture to meat and mix all together with drained wheat. Add ice water as needed to soften the mixture lightly. Grease a dripping pan with oil, lay in the meat mixture evenly. Cut into squares then cover lightly with oil and bake at 400 degrees for 30 to 45 minutes.
