Spinach Stuffed Kibbeh Balls

Instructions

1. 1

   Rinse the bulgur wheat under cold water and let it soak for about 20 minutes until it softens.

2. 2

   In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, soaked bulgur, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until the ingredients are fully incorporated.

3. 3

   Finely chop the onion and garlic. In a pan, heat a small amount of vegetable oil and sauté the onion and garlic until they are soft and translucent.

4. 4

   Add the spinach to the pan and cook until wilted. Season with paprika and mix well. Remove from heat and let it cool.

5. 5

   Take a small portion of the beef and bulgur mixture and flatten it in your hand. Place a spoonful of the spinach mixture in the center and carefully fold the edges over to form a ball, ensuring the filling is completely enclosed.

6. 6

   Repeat the process with the remaining mixture and filling.

7. 7

   Heat the vegetable oil in a deep frying pan over medium heat. Fry the kibbeh balls in batches until they are golden brown and crispy on all sides.

8. 8

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

9. 9

   Serve warm as an appetizer or main dish.
