Add Mushrooms and Seasonings: Add the chopped mushrooms along with 2 teaspoons black pepper and 2 teaspoons cinnamon. Stir well, cover the skillet, and continue cooking until the liquid evaporates. Cool: Set the mushroom mixture aside to cool. ๐Ÿฅฉ Meat Filling: Knead the Meat: Thoroughly knead the ground beef with 1/4 cup water until well combined. Sautรฉ Onion: In a skillet, heat oil and sautรฉ the finely chopped onion until it turns golden brown. Cook the Meat: Add the seasoned meat mixture into the skillet. Stir frequently to separate the meat and cook uncovered over a medium flame until all the water evaporates. Cool: Allow the meat mixture to cool completely. ๐ŸŒพ The Crust: Prepare Bulgur Wheat: Rinse and drain the bulgur wheat thoroughly. Combine Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the bulgur wheat, flour, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 cup tomato paste. Use your fingers to crumble and mix everything together. Knead the Dough: Gradually add 1 cup of water to the mixture, kneading it until a soft, malleable dough forms. Continue adding water as necessary. Form Kubbeh Shells: Wet your hands with cold water. Take a small lump of dough in your left hand and use the forefinger of your right hand to create an indentation in the lump of dough. Gradually tighten the dough around your finger, forming a thimble-like shape while keeping the outer wall intact. Fill Kubbeh: Place 1 teaspoon of the prepared filling (either meat or mushrooms) into the hollow center of the dough. Seal the opening by bringing the tips of the dough together, using a bit of cold water to help seal it if needed. Shape Kubbeh: Roll the filled dough between your palms to create an elongated form. Repeat this process with the remaining dough and filling. ๐Ÿณ Cooking the Kubbeh: Heat Oil: Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat. Test the oil by adding one kubbeh; it should start sizzling after a few minutes. Fry Kubbeh: Add no more than 4 kubbeh at a time to the hot oil. Turn them several times during frying to ensure they cook evenly. Fry until the outer crust is golden brown and crisp. Serve: Remove the kubbeh from the oil and drain them on paper towels. Serve hot, accompanied by your choice of salads such as tehinah, tabouleh, or fresh vegetable salads. ๐ŸŒŸ Tips for Perfect Kubbeh: Ensure the Dough is Malleable: The dough should be soft and pliable. If it's too dry, add a little more water; if too wet, incorporate a bit more flour. Consistent Filling: Make sure the filling is evenly distributed in each kubbeh to ensure even cooking. Proper Sealing: Ensure that the kubbeh are properly sealed to prevent the filling from leaking out during frying. Fry in Small Batches: Frying in small batches ensures the kubbeh cook evenly and the oil temperature remains consistent. ๐Ÿฅ— Suggested Sides: Kubbeh pairs wonderfully with a variety of salads and sauces. Here are a few suggestions: Tehinah (Tahini Sauce): A creamy sesame-based sauce that adds a nutty flavor. Tabouleh: A refreshing salad made with parsley, mint, tomatoes, and bulgur wheat. Fresh Vegetable Salads: A mix of cucumbers, tomatoes, and onions with a light lemon dressing. Enjoy this delectable dish, and bring the flavors of the Middle East to your dining table with every bite of these crispy, flavorful kubbeh. Bon appรฉtit! ๐ŸŒฟ๐Ÿด
