Ingredients

Directions

  • 200g (1 cup) fine bulgur wheat
  • 250ml (1 cup) boiling water
  • 1 medium onion, finely chopped
  • 50g (1/4 cup) fresh mint leaves, finely chopped
  • 50g (1/4 cup) fresh parsley, finely chopped
  • 1 tsp ground cumin
  • 1 tsp ground coriander
  • 1/2 tsp ground allspice
  • 3 tbsp olive oil
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 100g (1/2 cup) tahini
  • Juice of 1 lemon
  • 60ml (1/4 cup) water
  • 1 garlic clove, minced
  • Salt to taste
  1. Place the bulgur in a large bowl, pouring the boiling water over it. Cover with a cloth and let it rest for 20 minutes, allowing the grains to swell and soften. Once absorbed, fluff the bulgur gently with a fork, feeling the warmth and texture with your fingers.
  2. In another bowl, gather the finely chopped onion, mint, and parsley. Their fresh aroma will fill the kitchen. Add the ground cumin, coriander, and allspice, which bring warmth and depth. Combine with the soaked bulgur, drizzling olive oil over the mixture. Season generously with salt and black pepper, mixing thoroughly until the flavors meld together.
  3. For the sauce, take a small bowl and whisk together the tahini, lemon juice, and water. Add the minced garlic and a pinch of salt, stirring until the sauce is smooth and creamy. Adjust the water to reach your desired consistency, keeping it thick enough to coat the back of a spoon.
  4. With your hands, shape the kibbeh into small oval patties, feeling the mixture firm yet tender in your palms. Arrange them lovingly on a platter, inviting everyone to gather around.
  5. To serve, place the kibbeh on a rustic wooden platter, accompanied by the tahini sauce. Drizzle with a touch more olive oil if desired, and garnish with extra mint or parsley for a burst of color and freshness.
