To make this dish, you will need the following ingredients:
For the Kibbeh Rolls:
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 cup fine bulgur wheat
- 1 onion, finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon ground allspice
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 2 medium zucchinis, grated
- 1/4 cup olive oil
For the Yogurt Sauce:
- 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- Salt and pepper, to taste
To start, preheat your oven to 375°F. In a large bowl, mix together the ground beef, bulgur wheat, onion, cinnamon, allspice, cumin, salt, and pepper. Knead the mixture until it becomes smooth and pliable.
Next, take a small handful of the kibbeh mixture and roll it into a ball. Flatten the ball into a thin layer and place a spoonful of grated zucchini in the center. Fold the edges of the kibbeh over the zucchini to form a roll. Repeat this process until all of the kibbeh mixture has been used.
Place the kibbeh rolls on a baking sheet and brush them with olive oil. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crispy.
While the kibbeh rolls are baking, prepare the yogurt sauce. In a small bowl, mix together the Greek yogurt, garlic, lemon juice, salt, and pepper.
Once the kibbeh rolls are done, remove them from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes. Serve them with the yogurt sauce on the side.
