Baked Kubbeh Siniyeh Draft

Kubbeh baked in a pan, two layers of bulgur-and-meat dough with a beef, onion and pine nut filling in between. I bake it all in one tray and cut it into diamonds instead of shaping each one by hand.

How I make it

Dough

  1. Put the bulgur in a bowl, cover with water and soak for 30 minutes.

  2. Squeeze the bulgur lightly and run it through a meat grinder together with the onion and the meat.

  3. Add the semolina and spices and knead well. Add water if needed, until the dough is smooth.

  4. Divide the dough in half.

Filling

  1. In a skillet, sauté the onion and chile in the oil for 3 minutes.

  2. Add the meat and cook until browned. Add the pine nuts and stir.

  3. Season and remove from the heat. Stir in the parsley and let cool.

Assembly and baking

  1. Press half of the dough into a baking pan in an even layer.

  2. Spread the filling on top and cover with the other half of the dough.

  3. With a knife, cut diagonal lines across the top to make diamonds.

  4. Bake in an oven preheated to 350°F (180°C) for about 40 minutes.
