Fresh mint to taste
Where to find ingredients
Find ground beef and butter in the meat and dairy aisles at local supermarkets like Loblaws, Sobeys, or Metro. Bulgur wheat is available in the bulk food section or international aisle of most grocery stores. Fresh mint can be found in the produce section or at local farmers' markets.
Preparation method
- Begin by soaking the bulgur wheat in water for approximately 3 hours until fully hydrated. Once finished, drain the water thoroughly and squeeze the grain using your hands or a clean kitchen towel to remove all excess moisture.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, butter, diced onions, salt, black pepper, and fresh mint. Mix everything thoroughly. For a smoother, more refined texture, you may pulse the mixture briefly in a food processor or meat grinder.
- Shape the dough into the iconic kibbeh oval form and fry in hot oil until they reach a deep golden brown and are perfectly crispy.
Observations
This straightforward recipe will help you achieve homemade kibbeh that is perfectly golden and crunchy on the outside, while remaining tender inside. The trick lies in properly hydrating the bulgur wheat and seasoning the meat mixture with plenty of fresh herbs.
