Ingredients

  • 8 ounces Fine Bulgur
  • 1/2 teaspoon Salt
  • 1 teaspoon Jamie Geller Baharat
  • 2/3 cups Water
  • 8 ounces Ground Beef
  • 1 tablespoon Olive Oil
  • 1/2 an Onion diced
  • Salt & Pepper to taste
  • 1 teaspoon Jamie Geller Baharat
  • 1 tablespoon Pine Nuts
  • 4 ounces Ground Beef
  • Vegetable oil for frying

Instructions

  • In a bowl, mix the fine bulgur, salt and Jamie Geller Baharat. Add the water and keep mixing until well combined (you can use your hands). It will appear a little flaky. 
  • Let it rest for 10 minutes.
  • Add the ground beef and combine it well. Fridge for 20 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, in a frying pan add the olive oil and the onion and fry on medium heat until softened. Add salt & pepper, Jamie Geller Baharat and the pine nuts and mix a few minutes. 
  • Add the ground beef and mix, breaking up the meat. When the meat is cooked set aside. 
  • Use your finger to put saran wrap into a wine glass making sure it fits into it around the edges. Take the bulgur-meat mix out of the fridge and place a spoonful into the glass. Use two fingers to press it down and around the edges of the glass. Make sure to leave a hole in the middle for the filling.
  • Add about 1/2 a tablespoon of the filling into the hole. Carefully take the wrap out of the glass making sure to press the outside shell of the kibbeh around the filling.
  • Use your hands to keep shaping the kibbeh. Unwrap and keep shaping the kibbeh by pressing the top and bottom of it to stick out like a cone.  
  • Tip: Keep your hands wet while you shape so it doesn't stick to the kibbeh. 
  • Heat up a generous amount of oil in a frying pan. Fry the kibbeh for a few minutes on each side. Enjoy!
