👨‍🍳 作り方

1
Rinse the bulgur wheat and let it soak in cold water for 15 minutes. Drain thoroughly and squeeze out excess water.
2
In a large bowl, combine the drained bulgur, ground meat, chopped onion, allspice, cinnamon, salt, and pepper. Knead the mixture with your hands until it forms a cohesive dough-like consistency.
3
Divide the mixture into small portions and shape them into oval or football-like shapes, about 2-3 inches long. Create a slight hollow in the center of each kibbeh.
4
Heat the vegetable oil in a deep pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat to about 350°F (175°C).
5
Carefully fry the kibbeh in batches until golden brown and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes per batch. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
6
In a small bowl, whisk together the pomegranate molasses and lemon juice.
7
Arrange the fried kibbeh on a serving platter. Drizzle generously with the pomegranate molasses glaze. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley and pomegranate seeds.

💡 プロのコツ

✓Ensure the bulgur is well-drained to prevent the kibbeh from becoming mushy.
✓Don't overcrowd the frying pot, as this will lower the oil temperature and result in greasy kibbeh.
✓Adjust the amount of pomegranate molasses and lemon juice to your preferred balance of sweet and tart.
