- Add the butter and salt and stir well, then add the onion and continue cooking until the onion softens and is cooked through.
- Then add the dried mint and the nuts, stir, and set aside to cool completely.
- Start preparing the kibbeh dough: put the bulgur in a bowl, wash it with water, and leave it in the water for 10 minutes.Timers: 10 min
- Squeeze the bulgur well to remove the water, then add the lean beef and the remaining ingredients and knead thoroughly.
- Work this dough with your hands or a kibbeh machine until you obtain a cohesive dough. You can add cold water if needed so the dough is not tough.
- Divide the dough into two parts. Grease the baking tray with a little oil and spread the first portion of the dough to cover the entire tray.
- Add the filling. Then roll out the second portion of kibbeh between two sheets of plastic wrap and lay it over the filling, pressing lightly.
- Brush the surface of the kibbeh with a little oil and cut as desired.
- Bake in the oven at 180°C for about 45 minutes until the top is browned.Timers: 45 min
