Ingredients 

Kibbeh Dough

  • 2 cups fine bulgur wheat
  • 1 lb ground beef or lamb
  • 1 large onion, finely chopped
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • ½ teaspoon allspice

Filling

  • 1 lb ground beef or lamb
  • 1 large onion, finely chopped
  • ½ cup pine nuts toasted

Instructions 

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Soak the bulgur wheat in water for 30 minutes, then drain well.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, combine the soaked bulgur, ground meat, chopped onion, salt, pepper, and allspice. Mix well until a dough forms.
