Recipe Description

Experience the vibrant flavors of the Middle East with this delicious Vegan Kibbeh recipe. Traditionally made with meat, our plant-based version uses bulgur and a mix of mushrooms and walnuts to mimic the texture and heartiness of the original. Seasoned with a blend of aromatic spices like cumin and cinnamon, this dish is perfect for those seeking a satisfying vegan meal. Serve it warm and impress your guests with its rich, authentic taste.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup fine bulgur
  • 2 cups boiling water
  • 1 large onion, finely chopped
  • 2 cups mushrooms, finely chopped
  • 1 cup walnuts, finely ground
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 1 tsp cumin
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp allspice
  • 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
  • 1/4 cup pomegranate seeds (for garnish)
  • Lemon slices (for serving)

Steps:

  1. Place bulgur in a large bowl, add boiling water, cover and let sit until water is absorbed and bulgur is soft, about 30 minutes.
  2. In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add onions and sauté until translucent. Add mushrooms and cook until they release their moisture and brown slightly.
  3. Mix cooked vegetables with soaked bulgur, ground walnuts, spices, parsley, salt, and pepper. Mix thoroughly.
  4. Form the mixture into oval shapes with pointed ends, using wet hands to prevent sticking.
  5. Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 25-30 minutes, or until crispy on the outside.

    This looks delish, and I look forward to making it. But it doesn't say how much bulgur to use.
