👨🍳 Istruzioni
- 1
Rinse bulgur and soak in water for 15-20 minutes until softened. Squeeze out excess water thoroughly.
⏱️ 20 minutes - 2
In a large bowl, combine the soaked bulgur, 500g of ground meat, half the onions, allspice, cinnamon, salt, and pepper. Knead until a smooth, cohesive dough forms. Add a little water if needed to achieve the right consistency.
💡 Consigli Professionali: The mixture should be pliable and not sticky. - 3
For the filling, sauté the remaining onions in 2 tbsp olive oil until softened. Add the remaining 250g ground meat and cook until browned. Stir in salt, pepper, and any additional spices to taste. Mix in the toasted pine nuts.
⏱️ 15 minutes - 4
Preheat oven to 190°C (375°F). Grease a baking dish (approx. 9x13 inch) with olive oil or ghee.

Press half of the bulgur mixture evenly into the bottom of the prepared baking dish.
💡 Consigli Professionali: Moisten your hands with water to prevent sticking. - 6
Spread the meat and pine nut filling evenly over the bulgur base.
💡 Consigli Professionali: Ensure the filling is spread to the edges. - 7
Cover the filling with the remaining bulgur mixture, pressing it down to seal. You can score the top in a diamond pattern or create decorative shapes.
💡 Consigli Professionali: Use a knife dipped in water for scoring. - 8
Drizzle the remaining 2 tbsp olive oil or ghee over the top. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and firm.
⏱️ 60 minutes💡 Consigli Professionali: If the top browns too quickly, you can loosely tent it with foil. - 9
Let the kibbeh rest for at least 10-15 minutes before cutting into squares or diamonds and serving.
⏱️ 15 minutes💡 Consigli Professionali: Resting allows the kibbeh to set, making it easier to slice.
💡 Consigli Professionali
- ✓Ensure the bulgur is squeezed very dry to avoid a mushy crust.
- ✓The consistency of the bulgur mixture is key; it should be firm enough to shape but moist enough to hold together.
- ✓Toast pine nuts gently to prevent burning.
- ✓Serve hot with a side of yogurt or a fresh salad.
