Kibbeh is made using burghul, also known as bulgur, and I have wanted to try this for a long time, but had trouble finding the burghul.

Burghul is cracked wheat that has been par boiled, so requires little cooking, and this recipe originated in the Middle East, though I think they used meat mince and I have used chicken mince.

It is sandwiched together with a type of tabouli, and I have also served tabouli with it as a cold salad, as I currently have a lot of tomatoes and parsley growing in my veggie garden.

I was very pleased with the result, and the burghul is a bit similar to brown rice, but with a nuttier, slightly different flavour and harder texture.
