Potato and Beet Kibbeh

A wonderful twist on the traditional potato kibbeh, combining potatoes and beets for a striking layered dish.

\r\n

Ingredients

Start here, then move straight into the method.

  • 5 boiled potatoes
  • 2 boiled beets
  • Cumin*
  • Fine bulgur
  • 1 small dry onion
  • A pinch of dried mint and kibbeh spice mix
  • Marjoram
  • Hot pepper or chili - to taste
  • Salt
  • To make the beetroot dip, click the link: Beetroot Dip

Method

Follow the cooking sequence without leaving the page.

  1. Mash the boiled potatoes well and mix them with the bulgur, salt, and various spices, or what is called the 'cumin mix.'
  2. Divide the potato kibbeh mixture into two parts.
  3. Mash the boiled beets and add them to one of the potato-and-bulgur portions.
  4. Spread the first portion of potato kibbeh on the serving plate, then place the second red portion mixed with beets on top of it.
  5. And so we obtain a two-layer potato kibbeh: the first layer is the traditional potato kibbeh mixture and the second is the beet potato kibbeh mixture.
  6. You can garnish the beet-layered potato kibbeh as desired with different vegetables like radish and parsley...
