Kibbie Ingredients

Method

Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Prepare the Bulgur

    In a bowl, soak the bulgur wheat in water for about 30 minutes until it softens. Drain any excess water.

  2. 2

    Make the Filling

    In a skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and garlic, sauté until translucent. Stir in the ground beef, cinnamon, cumin, salt, and pepper. Cook until the beef is browned and cooked through. Add the chopped almonds and mix well. Remove from heat and let it cool.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Kibbie Mixture

    In a large bowl, combine the soaked bulgur wheat, the cooked beef mixture, and 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Mix thoroughly until well combined.

  4. 4

    Shape the Kibbie

    Wet your hands and take a small amount of the mixture to form an oval shape. Make a hole in the center and fill it with a little bit of the beef filling. Close the oval to seal the filling inside. Repeat until all the mixture is used.

  5. 5

    Cook the Kibbie

    Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Place the shaped kibbie on a greased baking sheet and brush with a little olive oil. Bake for about 25-30 minutes or until golden brown.
