Ingredients
Instructions
-
Place the bulgur wheat in a large bowl and pour the boiling water over it. Cover the bowl with a kitchen towel and let it sit for 30 minutes until the bulgur is soft and has absorbed the water. Drain any excess liquid if necessary.
-
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a baking dish with olive oil.
-
In a large mixing bowl, combine the soaked bulgur, chopped onion, mashed chickpeas, parsley, mint, cumin, coriander, cinnamon, salt, and pepper. Mix well until all the ingredients are evenly combined.
-
Take a small portion of the mixture and shape it into a smooth oval or round kebbeh shape using your hands. Place it in the greased baking dish. Repeat this process until all the mixture is used up.
-
Lightly drizzle some olive oil over the kebbeh pieces in the baking dish.
-
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the kebbeh is golden brown and slightly crispy on the outside.
-
Remove the kebbeh from the oven and let it cool slightly before serving.
-
Serve the Vegetarian Kebbeh as a main dish with a side salad, yogurt, or tahini sauce, or as an appetizer.
