to Make the Kibbeh You Will Need to Make Balls of Bulgar Filled With the Cooked Meat Mixture. Shape Ping Pong Sized Balls of the Bulgar Mixture, and Then Use Your Thumb to Make a Hole in the Center. Fill the Hole With a Tbsp or Two of the Cooked Meat, and Gently Close the Bulgar Around It. |

After You Have Formed All of the Mixture Into Balls, You Will Need to Fry Them For 10 Minutes Using Your Preferred Method. I Heat a Few Inches of Oil in a Cast Iron Dutch Oven and Cook Them in Several Batches on My Stovetop, Flipping the Kibbeh Halfway Through Cooking. |
