Method/ for the kibbeh
- Rinse the bulgur under water and drain to remove any excess water.
- Place the remaining Kibbe ingredients (except the large shrimps) in the Kenwood food processor and pulse twice until smooth dough is formed.
- Lightly wet your hands with water and divide the dough into egg-sized balls.
- Press your thumb into the centre of each ball to form cup big enough to fit the large shrimps.
- Fill each cup with one shrimp leaving tail out. (Save some shrimps to be added to the stew).
- Shape the kibbe mixture around the shrimp to form an egg shape. Repeat with the remaining dough and shrimps. Set aside.
