Where to find ingredients
Find ground beef, onions, and fresh mint at local markets or grocery stores. Bulgur wheat can be found in the international or grain aisles of supermarkets; if unavailable, fine cracked wheat may serve as a substitute.
Preparation method
- Start by soaking the wheat in water for about 3 hours to hydrate it thoroughly. After this time, drain all the water and squeeze the wheat using your hands or a clean cloth to remove any excess moisture.
- In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, butter, onion, salt, pepper, and mint. Mix everything very well. For a more refined texture, pulse the mixture briefly in a food processor or meat grinder.
- Shape the dough into the characteristic kibbeh format and deep-fry in hot oil until they are golden brown 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 the meat mixture generously.
