Are you craving some freshly made kebbeh? Say no more and learn how to make them at home!

Ingredients:

• 2 cups of gound beef
• 4 cups of ground beef or lamb, for the shell
• 2 onions, diced
• 2 cups of bulgur wheat
• 1 tsp of coriander
• 2 tbsp of oil
• A pinch of pepper
• A pinch of salt

Instructions:

1. In a large skillet, over medium heat, add the 2 tbsp of oil and diced onions. Cook for about 8 minutes, until soft.
2. Add the ground beef and stir to combine it with the onions.
3. Sprinkle the coriander, pinch of salt and pepper to taste. Stir again.
4. Keep cooking the beef until brown. I recomment to cook it a bit more than usual to have those crispy pieces.
5. When your meat is ready, set aside.
6. To make the shell, Rinse the bulgur wheat with abundant water.
7. Add the rinsed bulgur into a thin cloth and squeeze the excess of water. It needs to be as dry as possible.
8. Place it in a large bowl and add some salt and pepper to taste.
9. Add in the ground beef or lamb and stir well to create a dough.
10. Take about 4 tbsp of shell dough and form a ball. Your hands need to be moist to help avoid cracks in the kibbeh.
11. Press the dough ball with your thumb creating a hole in the center, elongating the shape.
12. Fill the hole with about 1 tbsp of meat filling.
13. Carefully, push the filling and start to close the kibbeh. The traditional shape is an oval one, like an egg.
14. Continue with all the shell dough and meat filling.
15. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
16. In a pre greased baking sheet, place your kibbeh and bake for 15 minutes.
17. After 15 minutes, flip them to bake for another 15 minutes or until golden.
