Where to find ingredients
Minced beef and butter are staples found at any local butcher or supermarket meat counter. Fine bulgur wheat (often labeled as fine cracked wheat) can be found in the international or grain aisles, or at Middle Eastern grocers; if you cannot find the specific 'bulgur for quibe', use the finest grade of bulgur available. Fresh onions and mint are standard produce items found in every grocery store's vegetable section.
Preparation method
- Start by soaking the bulgur in water for about 3 hours to ensure it is thoroughly hydrated. Once that time is up, drain off all the water and squeeze the wheat well using your hands or a clean kitchen cloth to remove any excess moisture
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the minced beef, butter, onion, salt, pepper, and fresh mint. Mix everything thoroughly. If you are after a finer, more refined texture, pulse the mixture briefly in a food processor
- Shape the dough into the iconic quibe shape and deep-fry in hot oil until they are perfectly golden and crispy
Observations
This is a reliable recipe for making homemade quibe that’s beautifully crispy on the outside while staying tender within. The secret to success lies in properly soaking the bulgur wheat and seasoning the mixture with plenty of care.
