Instructions

Prepare Meat and Onion Stuffing

Step 1

Add 1/4 cup of olive oil on high heat. Then, add the slivered almonds or pine nuts to toast for 3-5 minutes while stirring in a large skillet.

Step 2

Once the slivered almonds and pine nuts have turned light gold, add in the cubed onions and stir for another 3-4 minutes until the onions are translucent.

Step 3

Add the ground beef and cook for 5-7 minutes, or until cooked. Stir all the ingredients together.

Step 4

Once the beef, the onions, and the slivered almonds have cooked together, turn off the heat. Add salt and seven spices. Mix well.

Step 5

Cover the mixture and set it aside.

Prepare Kibbeh

Step 6

Preheat oven to 400° F.

Step 7

To a medium bowl, add the fine bulgur and warm water. Then, set aside for about 10 minutes until the bulgur has soaked in all the water.

Step 8

Add the soaked bulgur, ground meat, and 1 small onion to a food processor. It will not fit all of the ingredients at once, so add half of the amount of bulgur with 1 lb. of ground meat at a time.

Step 9

Once blended, place the rest of the soaked bulgur and the remaining 1 pound of ground meat and blend. Place in a large bowl.

Step 10

Add the salt, paprika, 2 tablespoons of kamooni, spice, and 1 teaspoon of 7 spices. Mix by hand.

Layer Kibbeh Bl Sanieh

Step 11

To begin layering, oil a 9 x 13“ pan or medium round pan. Begin to add patches of the ground meat and bulgur mix.

Step 12

Using your hands, press down to form an even layer. Do not make too thin nor not too thick.

Step 13

Evenly spread the stuffing on top of the layer you have just formed.

Step 14

To form the top kibbeh layer, my way is easy! But it is totally optional.

Step 15

Cut parchment paper to the same size as the pan. Spray one side with cooking oil, then begin adding the rest of the meat and bulgur mix to form an even layer. Again, use your hands to press down and form.

Step 16

Gently and carefully take this layer and flip it onto the stuffing. Gently peel off the parchment paper. Wet your hands and smooth out this top layer.

Step 17

Wet a pairing knife and cut the kibbeh to form the desired shape. Cut in the center vertically and then horizontally to form diamond-shaped kibbeh.

Step 18

Drizzle 1/3 cup of olive oil all over the pan.

Step 19

Bake for 35-40 minutes or until cooked and golden in color.

Step 20

Broil on high for about 1 to 2 minutes if needed for added crispiness.

Step 21

Serve and enjoy.
