Method

  • First, we start with the kibbeh, wash the bulgur well, drain it from water, and leave it for half an hour

  • Prepare the kibbeh machine and put the bulgur, meat, onion, white pepper, and salt, and grind the ingredients with the machine approximately three times until they mix with each other.

  • In a non-stick frying pan, fry the chopped onions with little oil over a medium heat until the onions soften

  • Add the meat to the onions, seven spices, black pepper, and salt, and stir the meat until it is completely cooked

  • Shape the kibbeh and stuff them with the meat.

  • Sift the flour and put it in a bowl. Add salt to it and mix well.

  • In another bowl, put water, add the yeast and sugar to it. Stir the ingredients well until the sugar dissolves and leave it for ten minutes.

  • After ten minutes, make a hole in the middle of the flour, add water, and yeast to it, and continue kneading until you have a cohesive dough.

  • Stretch the dough and cut it into circles of medium size. Put the filling inside each circle and close it well.

  • Put the shish barak and the kibbeh in a tray greased with vegetable oil and put it in the oven for ten minutes.

  • Now prepare the yogurt in a clean bowl. Put the yogurt, the egg and the salt and stir the ingredients until they mix well.

  • Prepare a large clean pot and add the yogurt after filtering it with a fine strainer and put it on medium heat while continuing to stir until it becomes thick.

  • Add the white pepper and keep stirring.

  • Add the kibbeh and shish barak to the yogurt and put them on a low heat for twenty minutes. Stir carefully.

  • Garnish with tarragon and serve with Sunwhite Rice.
