Steps

1

Mix the bulgur and cracked wheat together. Add enough water to just cover them, and let soak for 15 minutes until the water is absorbed.
2

Place the onion in a food processor and chop. Add the bulgur and cracked wheat, then mix in the mixed spice, black pepper, cumin, and salt. Process until the mixture forms a uniform dough.
3

Start shaping the dough by flattening small portions.
4

Fill each piece with the versatile filling (see my other recipes for details).
5

Seal the opening and shape into round balls. Repeat until all the dough is used.
6

Bring a pot of water with salt to a boil. Drop the kibbeh balls in one by one. Wait until they float to the surface.
7

Remove the kibbeh from the water and place in a strainer.
8

Once all are cooked, you can freeze them for later use. Serve hot and enjoy.
9

Variation: Make a soup by boiling chicken broth, adding some vermicelli noodles and a bouillon cube. Add the kibbeh and cook for 10 minutes, then serve.
