💡 Tip: Do not soak the fine bulgur too heavily; if the mixture sticks to your hands, bring it together with ice water, because adding flour makes the texture heavy.

🍽️ Serving suggestion: Cut the kibbeh into diamond slices and serve with cucumber yogurt similar to cacik and lemony arugula, if desired.
