pine nuts

🥗Healthier: walnuts

💰Cheaper: sunflower seeds

Walnuts provide healthy fats and are more affordable.

olive oil

🥗Healthier: avocado oil

💰Cheaper: vegetable oil

Vegetable oil is less expensive and has a neutral flavor.

Soak bulgur wheat in water for 30 minutes until tender.

Drain bulgur and squeeze out excess water.

In a pan, heat olive oil over medium heat and sauté chopped onions until translucent, about 5 minutes.

Add minced garlic, cumin, allspice, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper; cook for another 2 minutes.

In a large bowl, combine ground beef, soaked bulgur, sautéed onion mixture, and chopped parsley; mix well.

Form the mixture into oval-shaped patties or balls.

In a separate bowl, whisk the egg and mix in lemon juice; brush over the kibbeh.

Preheat the oven to 375°F and place kibbeh on a greased baking sheet.

Bake for 25-30 minutes until golden brown, turning halfway through.
