Where to find ingredients
Find bulgur wheat in the grains or international food aisle of local supermarkets. Minced beef is widely available in the fresh meat section. For fresh mint and produce, local markets or fresh produce stalls are recommended.
Preparation method
- Place the bulgur wheat in a large mixing bowl.
- Cover the wheat with water and allow it to soak for 3 hours.
- Drain off all excess liquid through a fine-mesh sieve.
- Squeeze the bulgur firmly with your hands to remove any remaining moisture.
- Combine the meat, onions, tomato, mint, salt, and pepper in the bowl.
- Mix all ingredients thoroughly until you achieve a well-incorporated, consistent mass.
- If you prefer a finer, more uniform texture, pulse the mixture briefly in a food processor.
- Spread the mixture evenly into a greased baking dish.
- Drizzle the surface of the quibe with the olive oil.
- Bake in a preheated oven until cooked through.
