Time 1h

Yield 20 meatballs, 10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 16

2 cups fine bulgur wheat (cracked wheat, #1 smead)
1 lb ground lamb
1 medium onion, chopped fine
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon allspice
1 teaspoon Arabic seven spice
1 pinch chili
1/2 glass water
200 g half a pound ground lamb or 200 g beef
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 medium onion, chopped fine
1 tablespoon pine nuts
1 teaspoon allspice
1 teaspoon Arabic seven spice
optional- a few drops pomegranate juice or tamarind syrup
salt & pepper

Steps:

  • Process.
  • Kibbeh (Crust) - Put the burghul in the bowl, cover with cold water and let stand for 15 minutes Drain burghul and squeeze in hands to soften. Place the lamb or beef in food processor and mince to fine paste. Add the remainder of the ingredients (adding water a little at a time) to the blender and mix. Remove and keep aside.
  • Filling - Heat oil in pan, add onions and cook till soft. Add nuts, cook until lightly browned. Add lamb and spices, cook, stirring until lamb is browned.
  • Fried Kibbeh.
  • Shape 1/4 cups of kibbeh into balls using damp hands. Hollow out the centers. Using your thumb, press a rounded teaspoon (or more) of filling inside. Shape into ovals. Now deep-fry the kibbeh in hot oil (in batches) until browned all over and cooked through. Drain on absorbent paper. Serve with appetizers (mezze) and salads.
  • Baked Kibbeh.
  • Divide the kibbeh into 2 equal portions. Flatten one portion on an oiled medium sized oven tray. Spread all the filling over it. Flatten the other portion of kibbeh using wet hands and layer on top of the filling. Shape into diamond shapes using sharp knife. Drizzle 1/4 cup of olive oil with some small lumps of butter (equivalent in total to 1 tbs) over the top. Place in the middle shelf of oven and bake on moderate heat for 40 - 50 minutes or until the top browns. Drain excess oil. Serve hot with salad.

This recipe was a little too complicated for me. I'm not a very experienced cook, so I would recommend this recipe for more experienced cooks.

I had a hard time finding bulgur, but I finally found it at a specialty grocery store. The kibbeh was worth the effort though! It was delicious and my family loved it.

This kibbeh was a little too spicy for my taste, but other than that it was delicious. I would recommend using less cayenne pepper if you don't like spicy food.

I was a little hesitant to try this recipe because I'm not a big fan of bulgur, but I'm so glad I did! The bulgur was cooked perfectly and it added a nice texture to the kibbeh. The flavors were also amazing. I will definitely be making this again.
