🥘 Ingredients
200 g fine bulgur wheat
500 g lean lamb mince
2 medium onion
60 g pine nuts
1.5 tsp ground allspice
0.5 tsp ground cinnamon
4 tbsp olive oil
to taste salt and black pepper
👨🍳 Instructions
Soak fine bulgur for 20 minutes. Drain and squeeze dry. Combine with raw lamb mince, grated onion, allspice, cinnamon and salt. Knead well — this is the dough.
For the filling: fry onion until golden, add lamb mince and brown. Stir in allspice, cinnamon and pine nuts. Season and cool.
Preheat oven to 190°C. Oil a rectangular baking dish.
Press half the kibbeh dough into a smooth, even layer in the dish.
Spread the cooled filling over the dough. Cover with the remaining dough and press flat.
Score the top in a diamond pattern with a knife. Drizzle with olive oil. Bake 35–40 minutes until golden brown.
Rest 5 minutes. Cut along the scored lines and serve with yogurt and fresh salad.
