Kibbeh Balls

Instructions

1. 1

   Rinse the bulgur wheat under cold water and let it soak for about 20 minutes. Drain well and squeeze out any excess water.

2. 2

   In a large bowl, combine the ground lamb, soaked bulgur, finely chopped onion, cumin, coriander, cinnamon, and chopped mint. Mix well until all ingredients are thoroughly combined.

3. 3

   Take small portions of the mixture and shape them into oval balls or patties, about the size of a golf ball.

4. 4

   Heat the vegetable oil in a deep frying pan over medium heat.

5. 5

   Fry the kibbeh balls in batches, turning occasionally, until they are golden brown and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes per batch.

6. 6

   Remove the kibbeh balls from the oil and drain on paper towels to remove excess oil.

7. 7

   Serve warm, garnished with additional mint if desired.
