Preparation:

1. In a small bowl allow the bulgar to soak in the boiling water for 1/2 hour. Drain well. 2. In a large bowl combine the meatball ingredients, including the drained bulgar, and mix very well. Form into 1-1/2 inch balls and place on a baking sheet. (Keep your hands damp with a little water to facilitate forming the meatballs). 3. Bake 20 minutes in a pre-heated 375øF oven, or until just cooked through.
