Steps

2 hours

1

Rinse the bulgur once and drain quickly.
2

Grind the chicken breast and salt in a meat grinder, then add to the bulgur. Mix well by hand, then grind the mixture again until smooth. Add the onion and continue until all is used.
3

Knead the dough well by hand until it’s ready to shape.
4

In a pot over low heat, sauté the meat and fat with 1 tablespoon of clarified butter, finely chopped onion, salt, black pepper, and ground red pepper until cooked through.
5

Toast the chopped nuts and add them to the filling.
6

Let the filling cool completely before shaping the kibbeh.
7

This kibbeh dough can also be used for baked or yogurt kibbeh.
8

If you want to save time, you can add more onion to the filling.
9

If you don’t have chicken breast, you can boil 4 potatoes and mash them to use instead of the chicken, but only for the fried version (not for baked or yogurt kibbeh).
