1
Boil a kettle

Add the bulgur to a pot with plenty of boiledwater and a pinch of salt and cook over a high heat for 10-15 min or until tender with a slight bite, then drain and return to the pot

Add the lamb mince to a bowl and season generously with salt and pepper
3
Divide the lamb mince into 2 [4] portions
Divide the feta into 2 [4] portions
Press each portion of lamb mince into the palm of your hand and push the feta into the middle
Seal up the outside with mince to form a sealed meatball

Heat a pan (preferably non-stick) with a drizzle of olive oil over a medium heat
Add the lamb meatballs to the pan and cook on each side for 4-5 min or until they're browned all over
Transfer the meatballs to a baking tray (use tin foil to avoid mess!) and put them in the oven until you're ready to serve, approx. 10-15 min (keep the pan for later)

Meanwhile, peel and thinly slice the red onion[s]
Peel and finely chop (or grate) the garlic
Grate the cucumber and squeeze out any liquid with your hands

Return the pan to a medium heat, keeping any leftover lamb juice
Add the onion and 1 tsp [2 tsp]sugar and cook 4-5 min or until softened
Once softened, remove the pan from the heat, add the cooked, drained bulgur and mix through - this is your red onion bulgur
