1 kg bulgur wheat

2 onions, chopped
Salt to taste
Black pepper to taste

Where to find ingredients
You can find these ingredients at local butchers and grocery stores. For bulgur wheat, check the grains or international food aisle. Dried parsley or cilantro can be used as substitutes if fresh mint is unavailable, though fresh mint is the traditional choice.
Preparation method
- Start by soaking the wheat in water for about 3 hours to hydrate it well. After this time, drain all the water and squeeze the wheat with your hands or a clean cloth to remove excess moisture.
- In a large bowl, add the ground beef, butter, onion, salt, pepper, and mint. Mix everything very well. If you prefer a more refined texture, pulse this mixture briefly through a food processor or grinder.
- Shape the dough into the characteristic kibbeh shape and fry in hot oil until they are golden brown and crispy.
Observations
This is a practical recipe for making homemade kibbeh that is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. The secret lies in thoroughly hydrating the wheat and seasoning it with care.
