2 c Burghul, cracked wheat
1 1/2 c Ground or minced meat
2 c Peeled ripe tomatoes
1 c Minced onions
1 c Samneh, or other shortening
1/4 c Pine nuts
1 1/2 t Salt
1/2 t Pepper
1/4 t Cinnamon

INSTRUCTIONS

Wash burghul well and drain. Brown onions, meat and pine nuts in
samneh or other shortening. Add chopped tomatoes and seasonings. Cook
until tender. Add water as necessary to keep from burning. Remove a
cup of this sauce. Add burghul to remainder. Cook over medium flame
until burghul has softened. Lower flame to finish cooking. Melt
samneh. Mix it carefully into burghul so that it will not become
pasty. Add salt. Serve with the sauce. Meatless variation: Saute
onions and pine nuts. Add tomatoes and cook into a sauce. Add burghul
as above. Other variations: Substitute olive oil for samneh. Fry
onions. Omit tomatoes, but add equal amount of water. Add burghul.
Serve this tepid. Substitute marrow squash or eggplant for the
tomatoes. Especially good for children. Substitute rice for burghul.
