Kibbeh Mixture
Method
Preparation
- 1
Prepare the Bulgur
Soak the bulgur wheat in warm water for about 30 minutes until it becomes soft. Drain any excess water and set aside.

Mix the Ingredients
In a large mixing bowl, combine the soaked bulgur, ground lamb or beef, finely chopped onion, toasted pine nuts, ground cinnamon, ground allspice, salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are well incorporated.

Shape the Kibbeh Balls
Wet your hands with water to prevent sticking. Take a small amount of the mixture and form it into a ball or oval shape, about the size of a golf ball. Repeat with the remaining mixture.

Fry the Kibbeh
In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Fry the kibbeh balls in batches, turning occasionally, until they are golden brown and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes per batch.
