A delicious Lebanese dish made from bulgur (cracked wheat) and ground meat, with a savory stuffing. This recipe emphasizes the importance of achieving the right dough consistency for the perfect kibbeh, along with tips for frying.
1: Prepare the stuffing by sautéing onions, ground beef, ghee, 7 spice, salt, pepper, and pine nuts until fully cooked.
2: Allow the stuffing to sit for about an hour and drain excess juices.
3: For the kibbeh dough, mix fine lean ground beef, cracked wheat, kamouni (or cumin plus spices), salt, and cayenne.
4: Ensure the cracked wheat absorbs enough water to reach a smooth, moon-like consistency.
5: Deep fry kibbeh on medium heat until golden brown or air fry with olive oil for 10-15 minutes.
