Kibbeh

Savor the rich flavors of Middle Eastern cuisine with this hearty Kibbeh, featuring spiced ground lamb and bulgur wheat. Perfect for a cozy weeknight dinner or a festive gathering with friends and family.

• 1 cup bulgur wheat
• 1 cup ground lamb or beef
• 1 medium onion
• 1 tsp ground cinnamon
• 1 tsp allspice
• 1 tsp salt
• 1 tsp black pepper
• 2 tbsp olive oil

Method

1. 1

   Soak the bulgur wheat in water for about 20 minutes until it absorbs the water and becomes soft.

2. 2

   In a mixing bowl, combine the soaked bulgur with ground lamb or beef, chopped onion, cinnamon, allspice, salt, and black pepper. Knead the mixture until well combined.

3. 3

   Take a small portion of the mixture and shape it into an oval or torpedo shape, about the size of a small egg. Repeat until all the mixture is shaped.

4. 4

   In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Once hot, add the kibbeh and fry until all sides are browned and cooked through, about 10-15 minutes.

5. 5

   Remove the kibbeh from the skillet and place on paper towels to drain excess oil.

6. 6

   Serve hot with a side of yogurt or tahini sauce, and enjoy your traditional Kibbeh.
