👨🍳 Fremgangsmåte

Rinse bulgur in cold water and drain well. In a large bowl, combine bulgur, 1/2 lb ground lamb, 1/2 finely chopped onion, allspice, cinnamon, 1 tsp salt, and 1/4 tsp black pepper. Knead with wet hands until a cohesive dough forms.
💡 Profesjonelle tips: Ensure the bulgur is well-drained to avoid a mushy kibbeh shell. - 2
In a separate bowl, mix the remaining 1/2 lb ground lamb with the remaining 1/2 chopped onion, 1/2 tsp salt, and 1/4 tsp black pepper. Form this mixture into small meatballs (about 1 inch in diameter).
💡 Profesjonelle tips: Uniform size of meatballs will ensure even cooking. - 3
Stuff each bulgur dough portion with a lamb meatball, shaping the kibbeh to fully enclose the meat. Set aside.

In a large pot, whisk together the yogurt and cornstarch until smooth. Add the minced garlic and bring to a simmer over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the sauce thickens.
💡 Profesjonelle tips: Continuous stirring is crucial to prevent the yogurt from curdling. - 5
Gently add the prepared kibbeh balls to the simmering yogurt sauce. Reduce heat to low, cover, and cook for 30-40 minutes, or until the kibbeh is cooked through and the sauce is creamy.
💡 Profesjonelle tips: Avoid vigorous boiling, which can break the kibbeh. - 6
While the kibbeh is cooking, melt the butter in a small skillet. Add the toasted pine nuts and sauté until golden brown. Set aside.
