Ingredients
- 1½ cups #1 fine cracked wheat
- ½ cup + 1 Tbsp tomato paste
- 2 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 1 cup scallions, finely chopped
- 1 cup white onion, finely chopped
- 1 cup tomatoes, finely diced + well-drained
- ½–¾ cup fresh parsley
- Zest of 1 lime + juice of 2 limes 🍋🟩
- 2 tsp cumin
- 1 tsp allspice
- Pinch of cayenne
- Salt to taste
Instructions
-
Slowly add hot water to the cracked wheat, a little at a time, until absorbed and the wheat is tender. Don’t over-water it!
-
Add everything else and mix well. You’re looking for that soft, luscious, spreadable texture of meat kibbeh. Add a little more tomato paste if needed.
Spread onto a plate, drizzle with EVOO 🫒 and top with white onion, jalapeño, fresh parsley + mint. 🌿
No lime? Lemon works perfectly too. 🍋
