Instructions
- Cut the cauliflower into pieces and boil in salted water for 10 minutes, then drain and mash it finely.
- Mix the cauliflower with the semolina, salt and flour until you have a smooth, supple dough.
- Fry the sliced onion in the oil, add the minced meat and spices, then cook until dry and well browned. Add the pine nuts at the end of cooking.
- Take a ball of dough, make a small hollow in the centre, fill it with a spoonful of filling, then close it up and shape it into a small oval ball.
- Repeat until the dough and filling are used up, then arrange the kibbeh on a plate.
- Heat the oil for frying to 180 °C and drop the kibbeh in small batches for 4 to 5 minutes, until golden brown.
- Drain on paper towel and serve hot with yoghurt.
Variations and tips
Oven version. Brush the kibbeh with olive oil and bake at 200 °C for 20 minutes for a lighter version.
