Savor the rich flavors of Kubba Burghul, a Middle Eastern delight made with fine burghul and spiced ground meat. Ideal for a cozy weeknight dinner or a festive gathering, this dish brings warmth to your table.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup fine burghul (cracked wheat)
  • 1 cup ground beef or lamb
  • 1 medium onion
  • 1 teaspoon seven spice mix
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

Method

  1. 1

    In a bowl, combine the soaked burghul, ground meat, chopped onion, seven spice mix, and salt. Mix well until all ingredients are combined.

  2. 2

    Shape the mixture into small balls or patties, about the size of a golf ball.

  3. 3

    Remove the kubba from the pan and place them on paper towels to drain excess oil.

  6. 6

    Serve hot, optionally with a side of yogurt or salad.
