Method
Follow the cooking sequence without leaving the page.
- Wash the bulgur without the kamouneh and drain it to remove the water, then set it aside and sprinkle the kamouneh on top
- Mix the kamouneh with the bulgur and rub them together, then leave the bulgur to swell
- Fry the onion in oil; when it lightens in color, set it aside, and in the same pan fry the meat with salt and spices
- Stir the meat well, then turn off the heat and add the onion and sumac
- Rub the bulgur with your hands, adding cold water as needed until you have a soft dough
- Add the ground meat and rub well so it blends with the bulgur, adding salt as needed
- Divide the dough into two equal parts... grease the baking tray with vegetable oil and spread the first portion of the meat mixture, smoothing it as much as possible
- Place the minced meat filling over the smooth meat layer, then start adding the second layer in small pieces and gently spread it, wetting your hands with water
- Portion or cut it to taste into squares or triangles
- Preheat the oven to 200°C and brush the kibbeh tray with vegetable oil
- Bake it in the oven; when the kibbeh's edges brown it will be cooked underneath, then brown the top of the kibbeh in the tray
- You can add nuts to the filling or decorate the kibbeh tray as desired
