Where to find ingredients
Find fresh ground beef and produce such as onions and fresh mint at local markets or supermarket butcher counters and produce aisles. Bulgur wheat can typically be found in the dry goods section, often near grains or specialty ethnic food ingredients.
Preparation method
- Start by soaking the bulgur wheat in water for about 3 hours to allow it to hydrate thoroughly. Once done, drain all the water and squeeze the wheat using your hands or a clean kitchen cloth to remove any excess moisture.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, butter, onion, salt, pepper, and mint. Mix everything very well. For a more refined, uniform texture, pulse the mixture briefly in a food processor or pass it through a meat grinder.
- Shape the dough into the traditional kibbeh form and deep-fry in hot oil until they are golden brown and crispy.
Observations
This is a straightforward recipe for making homemade kibbeh that is wonderfully crisp on the outside while remaining tender within. The secret to success lies in properly rehydrating the cracked wheat and ensuring a generous, well-balanced seasoning.
