• Step #9 mixing in wheat, 1 handful at a time,making sure you mix "very" well.
• Step #10 4.
• Step #11 Place in your pan & spread evenly with wet hands to do this, pressing meat into the pan.
• Step #12 Pour half Olive & half Veggie oil.
• Step #13 over top just enough to cover meat.
• Step #14 (hope I can explain cutting).
• Step #15 Cutting:Use a large knife.
• Step #16 A.
• Step #17 )First cut into 4 equal sectins like 4 squares, 1 horizontal cut, 1 vertical cut.
• Step #18 B.
• Step #19 )Cut "opposite" sections into 3/4ths inch slices through to bottom of pan.
• Step #20 C.
• Step #21 )Cut remaining "opposite" sections on an angle.
• Step #22 Then run knife around entire edge of pan to make area for oil to get into.
• Step #23 D.
• Step #24 )With your thumb make a hole in the very center of the pan & then make hole a bit bigger.
• Step #25 These cuts & the hole will allow the oil to cook the meat.
• Step #26 (All olive oil is best,use a good grade of oil.
• Step #27 ) Some people prefer all Veggie oil & that's fine too but the olive oil enhances the authentic flavor.
• Step #28 Bake at 350 for about 1 hr.
• Step #29 When the hr is done, turn on the broiler & lightly brown the top.
• Step #30 To eat:Cut a piece of bread in half, place a slice of Kibi in it, fold & eat.
• Step #31 I serve it with homemade yogurt on the side but Dannon plain is just as good.
• Step #32 Also slice up cucumbers, & have large pitted black olives (the real ones in olive oil are best but regular are good too.
• Step #33 ) Sometimes I will cut up fresh ripe tomatoes,salt,pepper,onions & add fresh lemon juice,a bit of water,fresh parsley,& a pinch of sugar.
• Step #34 No oil in this dressing.
