Title: Kibbee In Pan
Categories: Lamb, Lebanese
Yield: 1 Batch
1 lb Ground lamb or beef
1 1/2 c Bulgur (ground wheat)
2 md Onions; chopped
1/2 c Pine nuts (optional)
1/2 c Olive oil
1/4 ts Allspice
Salt
1/8 ts Cinnamon
1/3 c Flour; or more

In heavy pan, combine meat, onions, allspice, and cinnamon on medium
flame and cook until all the pink is gone. Keep pressing meat so
pieces of onion disappear, about 10 minutes.
In a bowl, soak bulgur in warm water to cover. Cover bowl; let
stand until all the water is absorbed, about 15 to 20 minutes.
In bulgur, drain all water if any is left. Combine flour, salt, and
olive oil. Mix so that ingredients stick together. Grease baking
pan with oil. Spread half the bulgur mixture on bottom of pan. Put
meat mixture on top; add pine nuts. Top with rest of bulgur. Cut
into squares and sprinkle with paprika. Bake for 30 minutes at
350°F.
