Where to find ingredients
Minced beef and fresh produce like onions and mint are readily available at any local supermarket such as Countdown or New World. Fine burghul wheat (cracked wheat) can typically be found in the international or health food aisle of most major supermarkets or at local Mediterranean speciality grocers.
Preparation method
- Begin by soaking the burghul wheat in water for about 3 hours to ensure it is thoroughly hydrated. Once the time is up, drain all the water and squeeze the wheat using your hands or a clean tea towel to remove any excess moisture.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the minced beef, butter, diced onions, salt, pepper, and fresh mint. Knead the mixture well until combined; for a finer, smoother texture, you can pulse the mixture briefly in a food processor.
- Shape the mixture into the traditional, elongated quibe form and deep-fry in hot oil until they are golden brown and perfectly crispy.
Observations
This is a straightforward recipe for crafting homemade quibes that are perfectly crunchy on the outside and tender within. The secret lies in properly hydrating the burghul wheat and ensuring the meat mixture is generously seasoned.
