Pumpkin Kibbeh

by Jenan Zammar November 30, 2021
Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

Kibbeh is a Middle Eastern dish consisting of beef mixed with cracked wheat & spices. It can be formed into a football shape that is stuffed with spiced beef and deep fried or layered in a baking dish and baked in the oven.

For this version of kibbeh, I made the outer layers using pureed pumpkin. It’s such a great warm dish to have in the fall especially with all the pumpkins laying around.

Ingredients

For the outer layers:

2.5 cups pumpkin purée

3 cups fine bulgur

1/2 cup flour

1/2 tsp cinnamon

1 tsp 7 spices (allspice)

1.5 tsp salt

 For the filling:

400g ground beef

1 onion, diced

2 tbsp olive oil

1/2 tsp cinnamon

1/2 tsp 7 spices (allspice)

Instructions

Preheat oven to 400°

Slice pumpkin in the middle and lay flesh side down on a baking sheet. Roast for 40 minutes. 

Remove skin then blend in a food processor until smooth. 

 

In a mixing bowl, to create the layers, mix bulgur, pumpkin purée, flour and spices until combined

If the dough feels too sticky, add another tablespoon of flour, set aside

In a skillet, sauté onion until softened, add ground beef & spices, cook until beef is fully cooked, set aside to cool.

Preheat oven to 400°

Grease a 14” round baking dish with butter or oil

Spread half of the pumpkin dough across the bottom of the pan

Spread beef mixture (optional: add chopped walnuts)

Spread the remaining dough over the beef and smooth it out by wetting your hands with water

Cut to desired pattern 

Spread 3 tbsp olive oil over entire kibbeh

Bake for 30-35 min, then broil for 3-4 min to slightly brown the top

Serve warm
