Where to find ingredients
You can find these ingredients at local supermarkets and butcher shops. For the bulgur wheat, look in the specialty grains aisle; if unavailable, a coarse cracked wheat acts as a suitable substitute.
Preparation method
- Start by soaking the wheat in water for about 3 hours to hydrate thoroughly. After this time, drain all the water and squeeze the wheat using your hands or a clean cloth to remove any 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, pass this mixture briefly through a food processor or meat grinder.
- Shape the dough into the traditional kibbeh form 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 properly hydrating the bulgur wheat and seasoning the meat mixture generously.
