Where to find ingredients
Find ground beef and fresh produce in the meat and vegetable sections of local grocery stores. Bulgur wheat can typically be found in the international or grain aisles of major supermarkets.
Preparation method
- Start by soaking the bulgur wheat in water for about 3 hours to ensure it is well-hydrated. After this time, drain all the water and squeeze the wheat using your hands or a clean kitchen towel to remove any excess moisture.
- In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, butter, onion, salt, pepper, and fresh mint. Mix everything very thoroughly. For a finer, more uniform texture, you can pulse the mixture briefly in a food processor.
- Shape the dough into the traditional kibbeh torpedo format and deep-fry in hot oil until they are golden brown and crispy.
Observations
This is a practical recipe for making homemade kibbeh that is wonderfully crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. The secret lies in hydrating the cracked wheat properly and seasoning it with care.
