This recipe was requested by Becky … its the first recipe request … so if anyone else has any other recipe that she/he would like to know …. comment on the recipe request page ….
This is a very popular and tasty dish … its kibbe (meat and bulgur) stuffed with minced meat .. so its meat stuffed with meat 
… anyway … its so worth the effort to make it .. its really tasty … to make it you will need:
- 1 tb ghee
- 1 small red onion finely chopped
- 1 lb minced meat
- 1 ts all spice
- salt and pepper
Lets start by making the filling …
Melt the ghee then add the chopped onion …. and stir for a minute or so …
Add the minced meat and stir well until cooked ….
Then add the all spice, salt and pepper … stir well .. and transfer the minced meat to another bowl and let cool completely … if in a hurry .. place it in the fridge for 10 mins or so …
Now we start shaping the kubbe … for that you will need a little oil which will help the kubbe not to stick while shaping .. so simply place a small bowl with a little veg oil …
Oil your hand a little … by a little i literally mean a drop .. if you add a lot then you will get the opposite effect and the kubbe will fall apart …
Now take nearly 1 tb of the kubbe mixture and roll it into a ball …
Using you index finger .. make a whole in the center of the kubbe ball …
Keep gently pressing and rotating the kubbe and making the cavity bigger …
Until the its like the photo …
Then add the filling … around 1 to 2 ts … depending on the size ….
Then gently seal it ….
And you got your first kubbe or kibbe ….
Repeat the same process to make more ….
Note : At this stage you can freeze the kubbe and when ever needed simply take out of the freezer straight to the deep fryer …
Deep fry the kubbe until golden brown in color …
And serve with the desired dip … this time my choice was a dip that we make that is similar to tzatziki .. but a little different too 
…
Enjoy

Hi.
These look great,BUT I cant find the bulgar wheat in the recipe!Is the same mixture used for both shell and filling?
Thanx Valerie … the shell only has bulgur in it … the filling is normal minced meat …. but the bulgur is important for the shell as it makes it crisp and doesnt let it fall apart in the frying process … try looking for bulgur in specialty stores … maybe Mediterranean ones .. as they use it in Turkey and Greece too …. let me know if you find it .. and let me know how it turns out
Please can you tell me what are the proportion of the crust how much meat and what is the quantity of cracked wheat /
please
Raphael
