Kibbeh is to the Middle East what stampot is to the Netherlands. It is a dish with which you make a kind of ‘cake’ of bulgur with (sweet) potato or pumpkin for example and an intermediate layer of fried vegetables, nuts, herbs, spices. Here is a delicious version with leek and potato. Very surprising in taste. You could almost eat it as a pancake. This dish contains the Kibbeh spice mixture, Khamouneh. It is also called ‘kibbeh herbs’, because it is the classic spice mixture that is used in many kibbehs. A good kibbeh can be recognized by Khamouneh.

Ingredients

  • 1 kilo potatoes

  • 1 kilo leek

  • 300 gram coarse bulgur

  • 1-2 red onions

  • The Kibbeh spice mixture – Khamouneh

  • 1 table spoon cumin seeds

  • 1 table spoon dried rose petals

  • 1 table spoon pul biber

  • 1 table spoon dry oregano

  • 1 table spoon dried mint

  • 1 table spoon cinnamon

  • 1 table spoon allspice

  • 1 table spoon salt

Cooking time

  • Peel the potatoes and cook them until tender.
    Soak the bulgur in boiling hot water.
    Cut the leek into rings and fry it buttery and well browned in a pan with olive oil.
  • Mix the mashed potatoes, bulgur and leeks together.
    Make the khamouneh and spoon 2-3 tablespoons into the potato mixture.
    Taste if there is no more ‘must’ be in it.
    Bring it to taste with salt and pepper.
  • Line a baking pan with baking paper and spoon your kibbeh mixture into the baking pan.
