Where to find ingredients
Bulgur wheat is found in the health food aisle or spice section of major supermarkets. Beef mince is available at any local butcher or supermarket meat counter. Fresh produce and herbs are easily sourced from the fresh food section.
Preparation method
- Place the bulgur wheat into a large mixing bowl.
- Cover with water and allow it to hydrate for 3 hours.
- Drain all excess liquid thoroughly.
- Squeeze the bulgur wheat well using your hands to remove any remaining moisture.
- Combine the bulgur with the mince, onions, tomato, fresh mint, salt, and black pepper.
- Mix all ingredients together until the mixture is well-incorporated.
- For a finer, more uniform consistency, pulse the mixture briefly in a food processor.
- Spread the mixture evenly into a greased baking dish.
- Drizzle the top of the kibe with the olive oil.
