Ingredients for Kibbeh-the Lebanese

Step by step instruction of cooking Kibbeh-the Lebanese

Шаг 1

Prepare the ingredients.
Bulgur to soak in warm water for 30 minutes
then drain and squeeze. Cut onion finely.

Шаг 2

A mixture of butter and olive oil sauté the onions until soft.
Add 500 grams of minced meat and fry, stirring,
until the beef becomes brown.
Then add the tomato paste, spices and pine nuts,
cook for another few minutes, then remove from the heat and let it cool.

Шаг 3

The remaining 700 g of minced meat mixed with bulgur and mince.
If your grinder has a nozzle for kibbeh,
You will be able to use it to make the shell.
If such nozzles no, the same can be done manually.

Шаг 4

We need to obtain a hollow tube with thin walls.
To start from the 2-3 tablespoons of minced SkyTeam balls of the same size.

Шаг 5

For convenience, I used the nozzle from the grinder for sausages (nozzle kibbeh I have somewhere lost), forming around her cold shell, but in principle you can use any long cylinder with a diameter of 2-3 cm.
Or you can make the hole with your finger, but this way I did not particularly convenient.

Шаг 6

The finished shell fill of roasted meat.

Шаг 7

A little squeeze, went to excess air
to take the edge and make the desired shape.

Шаг 8

Typically, kibbeh are fried in oil, on medium heat until Golden brown. But I try to avoid fried foods,
so the part I roasted (the darker),
and part of it baked in the oven (20 minutes at 190 degrees). However, kibbeh, fried in oil, I liked it more
as a crunchy crust, the filling remains juicy, compared to them, those that cooked in the oven are more dry.
