Step 1

Soak the bulgur with water for about an hour, until the bulgur has softened.

Step 2

To the food processor add 2 lbs. ground beef, the soaked bulgur half of a small onion, paprika, cinnamon, kamooni, all spice (7 spice), baking powder, flour, and salt. Blend until well incorporated.

Step 3

In a large skillet add 4 tablespoons of olive oil on high, add in the raw pine nuts and toast for about 2 minutes, add 1 lb. ground beef and sear for a few minutes, then add the finely cubed large onion for another 4 -6 minutes. Add the 7 spices (all spice), and salt. Mix well and set aside.

Step 4

In a large round baking pan brush with olive oil then take about 1/3 of the bulgur and meat mixture and begin spreading and pressing down, add more of the meat and bulgur mixture based on how thin or thick you want it.

Step 5

The next layer is the sautéed ground beef and onion mixture. Be sure to spread it all around.

Step 6

The top and last layer is again the bulgur and beef mixture. Place a little water on your hands and add patches of the mixture until the whole pan is covered. Add more or less based on how thick or thin you want the layers.

Step 7

With slightly wet hands smooth the surface of any bumps.

Step 8

Wet a small kitchen knife and cut vertical and parallel lines, 2 inches apart to form diamond shapes. On each diamond shape add a pine nut.

Step 9

Drizzle olive (about 1/2 cup) all over the finished kibbeh.

Step 10

Preheat oven at 450° F. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until browned/cooked. Then broil on high for about 2-5 minutes, over 2 minutes if you want a crispy texture.
