Middle Eastern Kibbeh

1. 1

   Place bulgur in a microwave-safe bowl and cover with water just to the top of the bulgur. Place in the microwave and cook on High 1 to 2 minutes until bulgur is swollen and the water is absorbed. Toss briefly and allow to stand until cool.

Using damp hands, shape the lamb mixture into small, palm-sized patties.
