    1/2 c  Coarsely ground lamb 
    1/3 c  Pine nuts 
    1/8 ts Salt 
           Pepper 
      1 tb Butter or margarine

    1/3 c  Bulgur 
      1 lb Ground lean lamb

    1/8 ts Ground oregano

      2 tb Butter or margarine 
  
  Combine 1/2 cup lamb, nuts and 1/8 teaspoon salt. Season to taste with

  keep crumbly, until light brown. 
   
  Meanwhile, rinse bulgur and drain by squeezing handfuls at a time. Combine 
  with 1 pound lamb, onion, oregano and 1/2 teaspoon salt and season to taste 
  with pepper. Mix well. With wet hands press layer of lamb mixture into 
  9-inch pie plate. Top with nut stuffing, then with another layer of meat. 
  Smooth surface of meat with wet hand. Cut into wedges before baking as 
  crust forms during cooking. Dot with 2 tablespoons butter. Bake at 350F 25 
  to 30 minutes, or until meat reaches desired degree of doneness.
