Where to find ingredients
Find these ingredients at local grocery stores or butchers. If cracked wheat is unavailable, fine-ground bulgur is the best substitute.
Preparation method
- Start by soaking the cracked wheat in water for about 3 hours to hydrate 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, pass this mixture briefly through a food processor or grinder.
- Shape the dough into the characteristic kibbeh shape and fry in very hot oil until 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 hydrating the wheat properly and seasoning it with care.
