Boiled beef and chicken stuffed kibbeh has a shell made from bulgur, shaped around a filling of ground meat and chicken, then cooked in water. It belongs to the wider family of kibbeh dishes found across the Middle East, with Turkish içli köfte offering many regional variations; boiling is an alternative to the more familiar fried version.
The bulgur casing is tender with a slight bite, while the filling stays soft and savoury. Serve it hot as a main dish, perhaps with lemon, yoghurt or a fresh salad. It brings together bulgur’s carbohydrates and fibre with protein from the meat. For a lighter plate, pair it with salad and go easy on any added oil.
