Where to find ingredients
You can find ground beef and fresh produce at local markets like Serekunda Market or larger grocery stores. For bulgur wheat (cracked wheat), check the international aisles or spice sections of well-stocked supermarkets in Banjul.
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 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 smoother texture, pulse the mixture briefly in a food processor or meat grinder.
- Shape the mixture into the characteristic quibe oval form and fry in hot oil until they are golden brown and crispy.
Observations
This is a practical recipe for making homemade quibes that are crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. The secret lies in soaking the wheat thoroughly and seasoning it with care.
