Method

9 steps · 45 min

01
Prepare Bulgur and Oven
Preheat your oven to 375°F. Rinse the bulgur wheat in a fine-mesh sieve, then squeeze out as much excess moisture as you can.
02
Season Lamb Mixture
In a large bowl, combine the lamb, onion, salt, and pepper. Knead the mixture thoroughly with your hands until it forms a thick, uniform paste.
03
Combine with Bulgur
Add the prepared bulgur wheat to the lamb mixture and continue to blend, ensuring it's evenly distributed throughout the meat.
04
Cook Filling Onions
For the filling, heat the oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Add the onion and fry, stirring occasionally, until it turns a deep golden color.
05
Brown Lamb and Spices
Add the lamb to the pan with the onions and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until it's evenly browned. Stir in the pine nuts, ground allspice, salt, and pepper, and cook for another 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
06
Assemble Kibbeh
Lightly oil a large baking dish. Spread about half of the lamb and bulgur mixture evenly over the bottom of the dish, pressing it down to form a compact layer.
Spoon the cooked filling over this base. Then, carefully spread the remaining lamb and bulgur mixture on top, pressing down firmly with the back of a spoon to seal the layers.
07
Bake Kibbeh
Pour the melted butter evenly over the top of the assembled kibbeh. Bake for 40-45 minutes, until the top is deeply browned and crisp.
08
Prepare Yogurt Dip
While the kibbeh bakes, prepare the yogurt dip. Blend the Greek yogurt and minced garlic together until smooth. Spoon it into a serving bowl and sprinkle with the chopped mint.
09
Serve Kibbeh
Once baked, cut the kibbeh into squares or rectangles. Serve hot, garnished with fresh mint, alongside rice and the cool yogurt dip.
