Where to find ingredients
You can find these staples at local markets or general grocers. Look for the bulgur wheat in the grains or imported foods section. If you cannot find fresh mint, it is a key element for the traditional flavor, but dried herbs can be used as a substitute.
Preparation method
- Place the bulgur wheat in a large bowl.
- Cover with water and let it hydrate for 3 hours.
- Drain all excess liquid thoroughly.
- Squeeze the wheat with your hands to remove any remaining moisture.
- Combine the meat, onions, tomato, mint, salt, and pepper in the bowl.
- Mix all the ingredients together until you achieve a well-incorporated dough.
- For a finer and more uniform texture, pulse the mixture in a food processor or meat grinder.
- Spread the mixture evenly into a greased baking dish.
- Drizzle the top of the quibe with the olive oil.
- Place in the oven to bake.
Observations
This practical recipe yields a moist and flavorful dish. The secret lies in ensuring the wheat is properly hydrated and using generous amounts of fresh herbs, which provide an aromatic profile that defines the dish.
