Rinse the bulgur wheat and soak it in cold water for 15-20 minutes, then drain thoroughly, squeezing out as much water as possible. It should be moist but not wet.

In a large bowl, combine 500g of the ground meat with the soaked bulgur, half of the finely chopped onions, 1 tsp allspice, 0.5 tsp cinnamon, 0.5 tsp black pepper, and 1 tsp salt. Knead the mixture with your hands until it forms a cohesive paste. If it feels too dry, add a tablespoon of water at a time. This is the kibbeh mixture.

For the filling: Heat 2 tbsp of oil or ghee in a skillet over medium heat. Add the remaining chopped onions and sauté until softened. Add the remaining 250g of ground meat and cook, breaking it up, until browned. Stir in the remaining 0.5 tsp allspice, 0.5 tsp cinnamon, 0.5 tsp black pepper, and 1 tsp salt. Cook for another 2-3 minutes. Stir in the toasted pine nuts.
