Ingredients for filling:
3 pounds of top sirloin
2 onions
1 table spoons butter
1 cup of walnuts (you can use also pine nuts)
1 tea spoon all spice
1/2 tea spoon cumin
1/2 tea spoon paprika
1 tea spoon black peppers
Salt to taste
Preparation for filling:
I like to start by rinsing the walnuts really well with warm water, usually I let sit in water for about 5 minutes.
Drain well
Chop to a medium size (preferably on a cutting board, not by food processor)
I like to roast the walnuts with a little of olive oil (it enhance the flavor in it)
I like to make my own my own ground sirloin, (also you can buy it ready grind)
You can control how fine you like you beef to be
It is better to have a fine grind
I usually leave it until it form a ball on one side
Add ½ of the seasoning to it
Cut-up the onions in large pieces, place in the processor
Now I like to add the other ½ of the seasonings
Mix the onions with the meat, cook until well done with a 2 tea spoons of better.
Add walnuts and mix
Ingredients for kebbeh:
To make about 50 pieces
3 pounds of top sirloin beef (well trimmed)
1 1/2 pound fine bulgur
3 onions
2 tea spoon all spice
1tea spoon black peppers
1 tea spoon paprika
1/2 cumin
Oil for deep fry
Preparation:
Wash the bulgur and drain, set aside
Start by grinding the meat
Mix bulgur with the meat to create kind of dough
Add all the seasoning and the onions, you can cut it in large pieces, it will be fine when it’s in the grinder
Let it all run once through the grinder
It comes out all mixed just perfect
Worke it like a dough
Fill in a bowl of cold water, Wet your hand for easy handling
Make a small ball
Start working it in round motions to create a pocket
Make it large enough to fit the ground beef that you cooked earlier
It will take a little practice to make it even
Fill in the prepared ground beef
Push down a little with your finger so you can close it
You can turn it softly in your hands to start closing, (it takes a little practice)
Dip your hand in water very lightly and shape it
Now it is all ready to be deep fried
Pre heat the oil, fry until golden brown
Serve while it’s warm
Garnish and Enjoy!
