Deep Fried Kebbeh

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!
