- Bulgur wheat — to buy300 g cracked wheat
- Lamb — to buy600 g, cubed
- Salt — to buy1 tsp

Preparation
Soak the cracked wheat overnight in cold water.
Put the lamb, drained wheat and water in a large pot, bring to a boil, then simmer covered over very low heat for 2 hours.
When the meat falls off the bone on its own, remove the bones and beat the mixture with a whisk or mixer until you get a smooth, stretchy paste.
Season with salt and cinnamon, return to low heat for 10 minutes, stirring constantly to smooth the texture further.
Serve piping hot, with melted butter and a little ground cinnamon on top.
