Vegetable Kibbeh Recipe

Preparation Directions

1. 1

   Prepare the Bulgur

   In a large bowl, combine the fine bulgur wheat and water. Let it soak for about 30 minutes until the bulgur is soft.

2. 2

   Sauté the Vegetables

   In a skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and garlic, and sauté until translucent, about 3-4 minutes. Stir in the grated zucchini and carrot, and cook for another 5 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool.

3. 3

   Mix the Kibbeh Mixture

   In the bowl with the soaked bulgur, add the semolina, sautéed vegetables, parsley, mint, cumin, salt, pepper, and lemon juice. Mix well until combined.

4. 4

   Shape the Kibbeh

   Wet your hands and take a handful of the mixture. Shape it into oval or round patties, about 1/2 inch thick.

5. 5

   Grill the Kibbeh

   Preheat the grill to medium heat. Brush the patties with the remaining olive oil and grill for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and cooked through.

6. 6

   Serve

   Serve the grilled kibbeh warm, accompanied by fresh farm greens and a drizzle of lemon juice.
