Basic Kibbi

Recipe Ingredients

2 2/3 cups	631ml	Bulgur - * see note
1 cup	62g / 2.2oz	Onion - grated (large)
2 tablespoons	30ml	Salt
1/4 teaspoon	1.3ml	Pepper
1/8 teaspoon	0.6ml	Cinnamon
1/8 teaspoon	0.6ml	Allspice
2 lbs	908g / 32oz	Ground lamb or beef

Recipe Instructions

* Add an additional 1/2 cup when using lamb.

Cover bulgur with cold water, soak for 10 minutes. Drain and press between palms of hand to remove excess water. Work onions and spices together with fingers. Knead meat and spices together thoroughly; add crushed wheat and continue kneading.

Dip hands in ice water while kneading in order to soften kibbi. (Ingredients must be kept cold.) Run the kneaded mixture through a meat grinder one to three times for a finer consistency.

Note: When using beef, 1 1/4 teaspoon of ground sweet basil may be added.
