Where to find ingredients
You can find bulgur wheat in the international or grain aisles of major supermarkets like FairPrice or Cold Storage. For the best result, opt for fresh, high-quality minced beef from your local wet market butcher or supermarket meat counter.
Preparation method
- Place the bulgur wheat into a large mixing bowl.
- Cover with water and let it soak for 3 hours.
- Drain all excess liquid thoroughly.
- Squeeze the bulgur firmly between your hands to remove any remaining moisture.
- Combine the meat, onions, tomato, mint, salt, and pepper in the bowl.
- Knead all ingredients until the mixture is well incorporated and cohesive.
- If you prefer a finer and more uniform texture, pulse the mass briefly in a food processor or meat grinder.
- Spread the mixture evenly into a greased baking tray.
- Drizzle the top of the kibbeh with the olive oil.
- Bake in the oven until cooked through.
