Combine all yoghurt ingredients in a large bowl and leave for one hour.

Soak 75g bulgar wheat in cold water for 30 minutes, drain, and squeeze dry.

Blend lamb, egg, and cooled onion mixture in a food processor until smooth.

Stir in bulgar wheat, pine kernels, mint, and parsley into the lamb mixture.

Shape 5ml portions of the mixture into small logs with wet hands.
