Ingredients

  • 1 cup of long-grain rice
  • 1 pound of ground beef
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 1/4 cup of fresh parsley, chopped
  • 1/4 cup of fresh mint, chopped
  • 1/2 teaspoon of allspice
  • 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon of cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon of salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil
  • 1/2 cup of water

Equipment

  • A large mixing bowl
  • A medium saucepan
  • A large skillet
  • A food processor

Method

  1. Wash the rice and soak it in cold water for 30 minutes. Drain and set aside.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, chopped onion, parsley, mint, allspice, cinnamon, cumin, salt, and black pepper. Mix well.
  3. In a medium saucepan, bring 1 1/2 cups of water to a boil. Add the soaked rice and stir. Reduce heat to low, cover the saucepan, and cook for 15 minutes or until the rice is tender and the water is absorbed.
  4. Add the cooked rice to the beef mixture and mix well.
  5. Preheat the oven to 375°F.
  6. In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Take a small amount of the beef and rice mixture and form it into a flat disc shape. Repeat until all the mixture is used up.
  7. Fry the kibbeh discs for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown. Remove from the skillet and place on a paper towel to drain excess oil.
  8. Place the fried kibbeh discs on a baking sheet and bake for 20-25 minutes or until they are crispy and cooked through.
  9. Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce.
