Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Arrange the pumpkin cubes on a baking sheet, drizzle lightly with olive oil, and season with salt and pepper.
- Roast for about 25-30 minutes, or until the pumpkin is tender and lightly caramelized.
- Place the bulgur in a small bowl and cover with hot water. Let it sit for about 10-15 minutes until the bulgur absorbs the water and becomes tender. Drain any excess water.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, chopped onion, rehydrated bulgur, spearmint, allspice, cinnamon, and 1 tsp ground cumin.
- Mix the ingredients thoroughly using your hands until well combined.
- Preheat a large skillet over medium heat.
- Take small portions of the beef mixture and form them into small oval patties (about the size of an egg).
- Cook the patties in the skillet for about 6-8 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked and browned.
- In a food processor, combine the roasted pumpkin cubes, chickpeas, water, lemon juice, and the remaining 1 tsp ground cumin.
- Process until smooth and creamy. If the hummus is too thick, you can add a bit more water or lemon juice to reach your desired consistency.
- Arrange the kibbeh patties on a serving platter.
- Serve with the roasted pumpkin hummus as a dip on the side.
- Garnish with sliced cucumber and halved cherry tomatoes.
- Enjoy your Beef Kibbeh with roasted pumpkin hummus as a delightful and flavorful meal, perfect for gatherings or a family dinner.
Tips:
- For best results, soak the bulgur in water for about 20-30 minutes before using it. This will allow it to soften and blend well with the other ingredients.
- When roasting the pumpkin, make sure to cut it into even-sized pieces to ensure they cook evenly.
- If you prefer a smoother texture for the hummus, you can peel the chickpeas before blending them.
- You can adjust the seasoning in the beef kibbeh according to your taste preferences. Feel free to add more spices if you like it spicier, or reduce the amount if you prefer a milder flavor.
- Serve the kibbeh and pumpkin hummus with fresh cucumber slices and cherry tomatoes for a refreshing and crunchy contrast. You can also add a side of pita bread for an authentic touch.
