Ingredients
- 200 grams Bulgar wheat
- 250 grams Lean ground beef
- 1 medium Onion
- 50 grams Fresh parsley
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground allspice
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0 as needed Olive oil spray
Directions
Step 1
Place the bulgar wheat in a bowl, cover with boiling water, and let it soak for 20 minutes or until softened. Drain well and squeeze out any excess moisture.
Step 2
Finely chop the onion and fresh parsley.
Step 3
In a large bowl, combine the soaked bulgar, lean ground beef, chopped onion, parsley, ground cumin, allspice, salt, and pepper. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are well combined.
Step 4
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
Step 5
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and lightly spray with olive oil.
Step 6
Wet your hands with water to prevent sticking, then take a small amount of the mixture (about 2 tablespoons) and shape it into oval patties.
Step 7
Place the patties on the prepared baking sheet. Lightly spray the top of each kebbeh with olive oil.
Step 8
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until the kebbeh is cooked through and lightly browned, turning them halfway through the cooking time to ensure even browning.
Step 9
Serve the low fat kebbeh warm with a side of yogurt or a fresh salad.
