كبة الطماطم
Arabic 15 Mins Prep · 35 Mins Cook
- Preheat the oven to 200°C, gas mark 6.
- Cook the bulgur wheat as per package instructions.
- Halve the tomatoes, core the red capsicum and place them in a large roasting dish and drizzle the olive oil over. Season with ½ tsp of salt and place in the oven to roast for 15-20 minutes, or until jammy.
- Place the cooked bulgur wheat in a food processor along with the herbs, onion, tomatoes, capsicum, the remaining 1 tsp of salt, freshly ground black pepper, cinnamon, cayenne pepper, dried mint and the juice of 1 lemon. Pulse until blended but not puréed.
- Let the kibbeh mixture rest for approx. 1 hour at room temperature, so that the bulgur can soak up the juices and soften. Taste the mixture and adjust the seasoning.
- Serve the kibbeh by spreading it to approx. 1½cm thickness on a platter. Using the tip of an overturned spoon or the tines of a fork, score the top of the kibbeh by making ridges all over.
- Chill until you’re ready to serve the kibbeh, then drizzle generously with more olive oil.
- Serve with the khameer and mint, if desired.
