Where to find ingredients
You can find high-quality ground beef and fresh produce at local markets or supermarkets in Monrovia. Fine bulgur wheat specifically for quibe is often available in the dry goods or international specialty aisle of larger grocers.
Preparation method
- Begin by soaking the bulgur wheat in water for about 3 hours to ensure it is thoroughly hydrated. Once finished, drain all the water and squeeze the wheat using your hands or a clean kitchen towel to remove any excess moisture.
- In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, butter, onion, salt, pepper, and fresh mint. Mix thoroughly. For a more refined and uniform texture, briefly pulse the mixture in a food processor or meat grinder.
- Shape the dough into the traditional oval quibe form and deep-fry in hot oil until they are golden brown and crisp.
Observations
This straightforward recipe helps you achieve homemade quibes that are perfectly crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. The key lies in properly hydrating the bulgur wheat and seasoning the meat mixture generously.
