Kibbeh: Not Meatballs but Meat Stuffed Balls
Kibbeh ingredients contain beef, cracked wheat, salt, onion, ground pepper, olive oil, cumin, paprika, and other spices. The procedure of kibbeh starts with soaking and softening the cracked wheat (bulgur) with water. Then, we process this soaked bulgur with the onion, salt, and pepper to give it a creamy texture.
Afterward, we prepare the stuffing by cooking the minced beef in a pan with onions and olive oil. This beef and onion mix is stuffed into the football-shaped balls. Lastly, these footballs are fried in the preheated oil until it gets a brown color and crunchy top layer, which are the primary signs of a good Kibbeh.
