Steps

1

Combine the bulgur with the spices: dried cilantro, red pepper, dried mint, and salt. Grate the onion and add it along with the water.
2

Place the bread in a bowl and add water. Let it soak until it absorbs the water, then add it to the bulgur mixture.
3

Knead the bulgur and bread together until it forms a cohesive dough, ready for shaping.
4

For the filling, finely chop the onions and cook them in a skillet or pot. Once softened, add the ground meat, salt, black pepper, and a spoonful of clarified butter or ghee if desired. Cook until done, then let cool.
5

To shape or fill the kibbeh, divide the dough into medium-sized pieces. Place two pieces on opposite sides of a plastic bag. Fold the bag over and flatten each piece with a plate or any flat object.
6

Remove the bag, place some filling on one piece, then cover with the second piece. Fold the bag over again.
7

Using a round glass, press down to shape the kibbeh into thin, filled discs.
8

Heat oil in a skillet over the stove. Fry the kibbeh until golden brown. Serve hot. Enjoy!

The secret to crispy kibbeh is using bread instead of flour, which keeps them crunchy and not doughy. Also, make them thin, not thick. Enjoy again! 😘😘😘😋

For your information, these can be stored in the freezer. When ready to fry, heat oil on the stove, take the kibbeh straight from the freezer, and fry.
