Method
Making the filling
Take minced lamb, red onions and salt for stuffing. Add spices and pan fry for 10 minutes on full flame till you get a golden brown colour.
Making the dough
Take burghul and lamb mince and knead them into a dough with minimal water. Add lemon and orange zests while kneading.
Once kneading is done make round, circular covers, the size of a small pita bread. Add the filling, rolled up in the shape of a ball and fold the dough over, sealing it well by gently pinching the ends together. Then, shape the kibbeh in a bun shape.
Once the buns are ready, grill them over charcoal for 15 minutes. The kibbeh mishwiyi are ready to serve.
Serving suggestion: You can also cut them in half and plate them as per your choice. Garnish with pomegranate molasses and pomegranate seeds.
