KIBBEH (STUFFED BULGAR WHEAT WITH MINCED MEAT) RECIPE

‘Thank you sweets’, see you on Friday for dinner, as I ended the call to my friend Tina. Dinner started quite late because we all had to meet up after work. Each dish was packed with different flavours including those that I was accustomed to and unfamiliar dishes. 

The dish that caught my attention was Kibbeh, which was served alongside a bowl of Tabbouleh and Raita. I enjoyed it and asked for the recipe. 

The one I had at the Restaurant had minced Beef and I was already thinking how I would tweak the recipe. I decided to use Lamb, Mint , Chillies and Sumac for a different flavour.

Kibbeh can be fried or baked and I tried both processes however I prefer the fried version. 

For the list of ingredients, you will need;

500g of minced Lamb 

(Use 150g to blend with the Bulgar Wheat)and fry the remaining as per the instructions in the video.

2 large Onions. 

(Blend the Bulgar Wheat with 1 Onion. Use the remaining Onion to fry your meat).

2 levelled tablespoonful of Cumin seeds

1 teaspoonful of Sumac or Lemon zest (Optional)

400g of soaked Bulgar wheat or cracked Wheat

Half a teaspoon of milled Black Peppercorns 

10ml of Olive oil

1 levelled tablespoonful of crushed Chillies (Optional)

3 cloves of Garlic

20g of chopped fresh Mint and Parsley 

Salt to taste
