Simple Kibbeh

Kibbeh, or "ball," is a staple in Middle Eastern cuisine. Made with lamb or beef, these crunchy croquettes are a flavorful blend of fragrant herbs and spices, filling meat, and hearty bulgur. These spiced bulgur balls are first stuffed with meatballs, then fried, or baked. It's delicious as an appetizer or side dish served with hummus, yoghurt dip or tahini dip.
If you want to make them in airfryer, just spray the prepared kibbeh with olive oil and place in your air fryer basket. Set to 190C/ 375F and cook for 12 to 14 minutes, turning halfway through.

Bulgur DoughFillingTahini Dip
  • 300 g Bulgur, fine
  • 1 tsp Salt
  • 500 ml Boiling water
  • 1 Onion, finely diced
  • 10 Mint, finely chopped
  • 10 Parsley, finely chopped
  • 3 tbsp Sultanas/golden raisins
  • 200 g Ground beef
  • Salt and pepper
  • 1 tsp Ground cumin
  • 1 tsp Paprika powder
  • 1/3 tsp Allspice powder
  • 2 Ice cubes
  • Sesame seeds for coating, optional
  • Oil, for frying
  • 30 g Pine nuts, roasted
  • 1 Shallot, finely chopped
  • 250 g Ground beef
  • 1/2 tsp Chilli flakes
  • Salt and pepper
  • 80 g Full fat Greek yoghurt
  • 1 tsp Lemon juice
  • 2 tbsp Tahini
  • Black pepper
  1. Place bulgur and salt in a large bowl. Add in boiling water and set aside for 15 minutes. Finely chop the onion and herbs. Soften the golden raisins in a bowl of hot water. Drain.
  2. Mix together the ground beef, bulgur, onions, herbs, salt, pepper, spices, golden raisins and ice cubes. Process the mixture in batches in a food processor to a sticky, smooth, dough-like consistency. Divide the mixture into 18 portions and shape each into a ball. Cover with a plastic film and set aside while you prepare the filling.
  3. Place all the ingredients for the filling in a bowl. Mix until well combined. Divide the filling into 18 portions.
  4. Poke a hole in the dough ball, making a pocket for the filling. Add ground meat filling and pinch the top to seal the ball. Coat with sesame seeds if using.
  5. Combine all tahini dip ingredients in a bowl and stir until combined. Chill until ready for use. In a deep frying pan or deep-fryer, add enough oil and heat to 180C/350F. Fry the kibbeh in batches until golden brown and crunchy, or about 8 minutes. Drain on paper towels and serve hot or warm with tahini dip.

    I've never tried doing kibbeh but your recipe seems indeed pleasantly simply, since kibbeh can be sometime a bit complex to achieve :)

    Dear Angie! We consume kibbeh as a snack (street food) alot in daily life. Your recipe looks great. Lemon juice and kibbeh combination is amazing in cold times.

    Oh Angie,
    This recipe brings back such good memories. My mother-in-law (from Egypt) used to make these for the family on special occasions. We all loves it and she made a vegetarian version with mushrooms for me. Your presentation is beautiful (as always) and your recipe looks delicious.

    These kibbeh look delicious. I haven't had any for probably 20 years-time to change that. You also made them look so delicious on that bed of greens. I'm not good at setting up my food, more just shooting photos of it, but you do a fantastic job not only with recipes but with making the food look like eye candy. Happy Halloween and end of October.
