Fried Kibbeh with Cheese


Kibbeh Dough Ingredients:

  • 1 kilogram of lean ground beef
  • ½ kilogram of fine bulgur, soaked in water for 30 minutes
  • 1 tablespoon of cumin
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon of salt

Filling Ingredients:

  • ½ kilogram of ground lamb
  • 1½ cups of grated Gouda cheese
  • 2 medium onions, finely chopped
  • 1 teaspoon of red chili flakes
  • 1 teaspoon of salt
  • 1 teaspoon of black pepper

For Frying:

  • Vegetable oil (as needed)

How to Prepare Fried Kibbeh with Cheese:

  1. Prepare the kibbeh dough:

    • In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, soaked bulgur, and chopped onion. Season with cumin, black pepper, and salt. Mix well by hand until a smooth dough forms. (You can also use a kibbeh mixer to blend and knead the ingredients).
  2. Prepare the filling:

    • In a pan, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the finely chopped onions and sauté until softened.
    • Add the ground lamb, black pepper, salt, and red chili flakes, stirring occasionally until the lamb is fully cooked.
    • Remove the pan from heat and let the filling cool. Then, mix in the grated Gouda cheese.
  3. Form the kibbeh:

    • Divide the kibbeh dough into equal-sized balls. Take each ball and make an indentation in the center with your finger, creating a hollow space.
    • Place a spoonful of the filling inside the hollow, then seal the dough around it, forming it into a ball or oval shape.
  4. Fry the kibbeh:

    • Heat a generous amount of vegetable oil in a pan over medium heat. Fry the kibbeh balls until they turn golden brown and are fully cooked.

Your fried kibbeh with cheese is now ready! Serve it on a plate for family or guests to enjoy its delicious taste. Bon appétit!
