Step 1
Soak the bulgar wheat in water for 40 minutes to 1 hour. The bulgar should be soft when ready. Drain the bulgar wheat.
Step 2
Split the meat into three batches. Ground the first two in a food processor and place them in a bowl. Put the third batch in the food processor along with the onion and spices and process. Add this mixture to the rest of the ground meat.
Step 3
Add the bulgur to the meat and start kneading the mixture with your hands until everything is mixed together (it takes around 5-7 minutes so keep mixing). If you feel the mixture needs it, place your hands in a bowl of cold water and then mix again.
Step 4
Once everything is combined, shape the mixture into a large ball.
Step 5
Move it to the serving dish and start patting it down until it covers the entire dish. Use a fork to make lines across the kibbeh nayeh.
Step 6
