Cooking Steps

Cook bulgur
1
  • Add 2/3 cup (1 cup) water,1 tbsp (2 tbsp) oil and 1/4 tsp (1/2 tsp) salt to a medium pot. (TIP: We love to use olive oil in this recipe!) Cover and bring to a boil over high heat.
  • Once boiling, stir in bulgur and return water to a boil. Cover and remove from heat.
  • Let stand until bulgur is tender and liquid is absorbed, 16-18 min.
  • Fluff bulgur with a fork.
Prep
2
  • Meanwhile, cut cucumbers into 1/2-inch pieces.
  • Roughly chop parsley.
  • Zest, then juice half the lemon. Cut remaining lemon into wedges.
  • Peel, then cut onion into 1⁄2-inch rounds (keeping rings together). Finely chop 2 tbsp (1/4 cup) of onion, then place in a medium bowl. (NOTE: Set aside to make chopped salad in step 3.)
  • Cut tomato into 1/2-inch pieces.
  • Add remaining onion rounds to a plate. Drizzle 1/2 tbsp (1 tbsp) oil over top, then season with salt and pepper.
Make salad and tahini sauce
3
  • Add tomatoes, cucumbers, half the parsley, 1/2 tbsp (1 tbsp) lemon juice, 1/4 tsp (1/2 tsp) sugar and 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) oil to bowl with chopped red onion. Season with salt and pepper, then toss to combine.
  • In a small bowl, add mayo, tahini sauce, 1/2 tsp (1 tsp) lemon juice and ¼ tsp (½ tsp) sugar. Season with salt and pepper, then stir to combine. 
Form kibbeh patties
4
  • Add half the crispy shallots, Turkish Spice Blend and 1/8 tsp (1/4 tsp) salt to another medium bowl. Stir to combine.
  • Crumble in beef, then season with pepper and combine. Using wet hands, form mixture into eight (sixteen) 2-inch-wide patties.
  • Transfer kibbeh patties to a plate, then drizzle 1/2 tbsp (1 tbsp) oil over top. Flip patties to coat each side with oil.
Grill onions and kibbeh
5
  • Add onion rounds to grill. Reduce heat to medium, close lid and grill, flipping once, until tender, 5-7 min per side. Transfer to the same plate.
  • Meanwhile, add kibbeh to the grill. Close lid and grill kibbeh, flipping once, until cooked through, 3-4 min per side.**
Finish and serve
6
  • Add remaining parsley and any remaining lemon juice to the pot with bulgur. Season with pepper, then fluff with a fork to combine.
  • Cut grilled onions into bite-sized pieces.
  • Divide bulgur between bowls.
  • Top with kibbeh, grilled onions and chopped salad.
  • Top with tahini sauce mixture and remaining crispy shallots.
  • Squeeze a lemon wedge over top, if desired.

Customer reviews

Review summary

Updated on Feb 2026
  • Flavor: The kibbeh patties were flavorful and crispy outside, moist inside. The spice blend and grilled onions added depth to the dish.
  • Ease of prep: Some found it took longer than expected to prepare. Instructions were mostly clear, but a few steps caused confusion.
  • Suggestions: Consider adding mint to the salad and increasing lemon flavor throughout. Offer a non-grill cooking method for those without barbecues.
  • Portions: Several reviewers mentioned the meal didn't provide enough food, particularly for four people.
  • Sauce: The tahini mayo was popular; consider offering extra sauce as an option. Some felt more sauce was needed to prevent dryness.
