This variation of the preceding kibbeh is a much easier one which does not require the long preparation of mincing and pounding. It is equally delicious and rather lighter, although the shell has a tendency to break as it is handled, and must be carefully patched if it does.
Make the shell. Wash the burghul in a fine-meshed sieve and squeeze it dry. Put it in a large bowl with the other shell ingredients and knead vigorously for at least 15 minutes to achieve a smooth paste, adding a little water if necessary.
Shape and fill the shells as in the preceding recipe. Deep-fry and serve with salads.
