Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Soak the 1 cup bulgur in hot water for 10 minutes, then drain well, squeezing out excess moisture.

  2. Step 2

    In a food processor, combine the soaked bulgur, 1 pound ground beef, 1 chopped onion, 1 tsp salt, and 1/2 tsp black pepper. Pulse until a smooth paste forms.

  3. Step 3

    Shape the mixture into 8 oval patties, about 1/2 inch thick.

  4. Step 4

    Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the patties in a single batch, without crowding, until browned and cooked through, about 4-5 minutes per side.

  5. Step 5

    In a small bowl, mix the 1 cup yogurt with 1 tbsp olive oil and a pinch of salt.

  6. Step 6

    Serve the kibbeh hot with the yogurt sauce drizzled over, and garnish with the 1/4 cup chopped fresh herbs and shredded carrot if desired.
