Where to find ingredients
Ground beef, butter, and produce such as onions and mint are found at local butcher shops and markets. Bulgur wheat can be found in the international or grain aisle of supermarkets.
Preparation method
- Begin by soaking the 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 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 finer texture, briefly pulse this mixture in a food processor or meat grinder.
- Shape the dough into the characteristic kibbeh format and deep-fry in hot oil until they are golden brown and crispy.
Observations
This is a practical recipe for creating 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 mixture with care.
