Ingredients

For the kibbeh:

2 cups burghul wheat

2 pounds ground beef

2medium onion finely chopped

3 tsp salt

1/2 tsp ground black pepper

1/2 tsp chopped mint

1 tsp allspice powder

(I like to add crushed garlic to the mix)

1/2 litter (or more) vegetable oil to fry

For the filling:

500g minced beef

3 medium onion finely chopped

1 tbs pine nuts

1 tsp mixed spices

Salt & pepper and a pinch of allspice

Directions

To make the kibbeh: Place burghul in bowl, cover with cold water and stand for 15 mins. Drain burghul and squeeze in hands to soften. Place the ground beef in food processor and mince to fine paste. Add the remainder of the ingredients (adding water a little at a time) to the blender and mix. Remove and keep aside.

To prepare the filling: Heat oil in pan, add onions and cook till soft. Add nuts, cook until lightly browned. Add ground beef and spices, cook, stirring until lamb is browned.

Shape 1/4 cups of kibbeh into balls using damp hands. Hollow out the centres using thumb, and place a rounded teaspoon (or more) of filling inside. Shape kibbeh into ovals. Now deep-fry the kibbeh in very hot oil (in batches) until browned all over and cooked through. Drain on absorbent paper. Serve with mezze.
