Method

1. Let the fine bulgur soak in a little water for about an hour before starting the kibbeh.
2. Grind the soaked bulgur very finely, then add the cumin mix and knead the ingredients well before adding the minced meat. Knead the meat and bulgur by hand with a little cold water until you obtain a cohesive, smooth dough.
3. Continue kneading after adding the meat until the mixture is uniform.
4. Spread half of the dough in a pan greased with a bit of oil.
5. Prepare aside a sautéed minced beef and onion with salt and spices.
6. Add the minced beef mixture over the first half of the dough, then spread the remaining dough over the beef mixture.
7. Cut as desired into triangles or squares and decorate the top of the pan as you wish. Brush the top with oil as well.
8. Place the pan in a hot oven at 200°C and bake until fully cooked.
