Turkish Meatballs - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    1 cup dried Bulgar wheat
    1 lb ground lamb
    1 onion, finely chopped
    3 cloves garlic, chopped
    1/4 cup raisins, soaked in hot water
    2 teaspoons cumin
    1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
    1 teaspoon allspice
    1 egg
    fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Preparation
    Cook the bulgur by covering it with a cup of boiling water and letting it soak in a covered bowl for about 10 minutes.
    Uncover and let cool for a few minutes.
    Meanwhile, put the rest of the ingredients except the parsley in a mixing bowl.
    Add in the cooled bulgur and use your hands to thoroughly mix everything together.
    Roll them with your hands into balls around the same size as a golf ball and flatten them a little.
    Now you can either bake them in a hot oven for around 10 minutes or fry them in hot oil until they are browned all over.
    Serve with parsley sprinkled on top.
