After you make this uncomplicated recipe for low carb kibbeh/kobebah with cauliflower and a few ingredients, you’ll always want more.

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (for baked Kibbeh). If you are frying, skip this step.
  2. Take your cauliflower and grate it with a cheese grater, or use a food processor until it looks more like grains of rice. Measure out 2 ½ cups.
  3. Place grated cauliflower into a dry sauté pan and turn the heat on medium low. Cook the cauliflower and allow the moisture to dissipate. Make sure to keep it moving with a spatula so it doesn't burn! Once it is nicely cooked and dry, remove from the pan and place in a bowl. Set aside.
  4. In the same pan, add olive oil and sauté the finely chopped onion over a medium heat. Add salt, pepper, and spices and stir so the spices are evenly distributed. When cooked, place onions in the same bowl as the cauliflower, mix with a spoon, and allow to cool.
  5. In a medium sized glass bowl, whip the egg with a fork. Add the raw ground beef or lamb to the glass bowl. Mix the egg and meat with your hands until it is completely combined.
  6. Add the cauliflower/onion/spice mixture to the meat mixture and, using your hands, mix until everything is nicely coated with the egg.
  7. Form 1″ balls to make about If you are making patties, flatten them down.
  8. For baking: Place patties on a lightly greased baking sheet. Bake them at 350°F for 25 minutes. Flip them after the first 15 minutes. When they are finished baking, remove from the sheet and serve.
  9. For frying: Fill a small saucepan with cooking oil (recommend canola or avocado oil) to a depth of about 2 inches. Heat the oil slowly over medium heat. Once the oil is properly heated, drop the balls into the oil and fry for about 2-3 minutes, turning them around so they are evenly cooked. Remove with a slotted spoon so that any excess oil drains out.
  10. Optional dipping sauce: In a small bowl, mix ¼ cup full-fat plain yogurt, 3 tbsp grated or finely chopped cucumber, and a pinch of dill. Stir and serve.
