Where to find ingredients
You can find these ingredients at local butchers, produce markets, and large supermarkets. Bulgur wheat can be found in the grain or international specialty aisles. As a substitute for specialized bulgur wheat, standard cracked wheat is acceptable.
Preparation method
- Start by soaking the wheat in water for about 3 hours to hydrate it well. After this time, drain all the water and squeeze the wheat with your hands or a clean cloth to remove excess moisture.
- In a large bowl, add the ground beef, butter, onion, salt, pepper, and mint. Mix everything very well. If you want a more refined texture, quickly process this mixture through a food processor or meat grinder.
- Shape the dough into the characteristic kibbeh format and fry in very hot oil until they are golden 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 it with care.
