Kibbeh Recipe

Prepare Bulgur

In a bowl, soak the bulgur wheat in 2 cups of water for about 30 minutes, or until softened. Drain any excess water.

Cook Onions and Pine Nuts

In a skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onions and sauté until translucent. Add the pine nuts and cook until golden brown.

Mix Filling

In a mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, sautéed onions and pine nuts, ground cinnamon, allspice, salt, and black pepper. Mix well.

Combine with Bulgur

Add the soaked bulgur wheat to the beef mixture and mix thoroughly until well combined.

Shape Kibbeh

Wet your hands and take a small amount of the mixture to form oval-shaped balls or patties.

Cook Kibbeh

In the skillet, heat the remaining olive oil. Fry the kibbeh on medium heat for about 5-7 minutes on each side or until browned and cooked through.

Serve

Remove from the skillet and drain on paper towels. Serve warm with yogurt or a salad.
