INGREDIENTS

Kibbe croquettes

  • 200g fresh, lean mince lamb

  • 200g fine brown burghul wheat, washed and strained

  • 1 small onion diced

  • 5-6 basil leaves fresh or 1/2 Tsp dried basil

  • 1/2 Tsp marjoram

  • 1/2 Tsp ground cinnamon

  • 1/2 Tsp allspice

  • 1/2 Tsp cumin

  • 1/2 Tsp salt

  • 1/4 red chilli

  • 1 Tbsp oil

Cherry sauce

  • 1 cup fresh cherries, pitted

  • 1/4 cup brown sugar

  • 1 Tbsp vinegar

  • 1 star anise

  • 1 small Cinnamon bark

INSTRUCTIONS

  • In a medium sized bowl, wash the burghul wheat and strain in a fine colander. Set aside.

  • To make the kibbe shells, place the onion, spices, basil & red chilli into the bowl of a large food processor.

  • Process until the mixture is very finely ground.

  • Add the meat and strained burghul wheat and blend again until a dough forms.

  • Shape the shell as desired & place on a baking tray lined with parchment paper. Cover with cling film and rest in the fridge while you prepare the cherry sauce.

  • For the sauce, place a small saucepan over a medium-low heat. Add the sugar, vinegar, star anise & cinnamon bark. Allow the mixture to simmer gently for about 3 minutes until the spices infuse. Stir frequently.

  • Add the pitted cherries and glaze. Keep on low heat, stirring occasionally, while you bake the kibbe shells.

  • When you are ready to bake, brush each open shell with a little oil & bake at 210 degrees celsius (gas mark 7) for 15 minutes, or until golden.

  • Pour a small amount of the cherry sauce inside the kibbe shell. Serve hot & enjoy!

 

Dedicated to my husband. We tried this dish for the first time at frida, Lebanon and it quickly became a favourite.
