Where to find ingredients
You can find these ingredients at local supermarkets or open-air markets in Port Moresby. Fresh mint is widely available in the fresh produce section, while bulgur wheat can typically be found in the dry goods or international specialty aisle. If bulgur wheat is unavailable, a high-quality cracked wheat is the most suitable substitute.
Preparation method
- Begin by soaking the bulgur wheat in water for approximately 3 hours to ensure it is thoroughly hydrated. Once finished, drain the water completely and squeeze the wheat using your hands or a clean cloth to remove any excess moisture.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, butter, onion, salt, pepper, and fresh mint. Mix everything thoroughly. For a more refined texture, pulse the mixture briefly in a food processor or meat grinder.
- Shape the mixture into the characteristic oval quibe form and fry in hot oil until they are golden brown and crispy.
Observations
This is a practical recipe for creating homemade quibes that are crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. The secret lies in ensuring the wheat is properly hydrated and seasoned with care.
