AIR FRYER KIBBEH

Air Fryer Kibbeh image

My dad's version of Lebanese Kibbeh cooked in the air fryer. Compared to frying in the skillet with oil, the air-fried version had much more flavor, you could really taste the mint and peppers. I don't think we will ever fry it again.

Ingredients

1 cup medium-grind bulgur
1 medium onion, roughly chopped
3 peppers serrano peppers, chopped, or more to taste
¼ cup chopped fresh mint
1 pound 97% lean ground beef
salt and ground black pepper to taste
1 tablespoon butter, softened, or as needed

Steps:

Soak bulgur in a bowl of water until soft to the bite, 20 to 25 minutes. Drain.
Combine onion, serrano peppers, and mint in a food processor; process until you have a paste. Transfer to a large bowl with ground beef and bulgur. Season with salt and pepper and mix with your hands until thoroughly combined.
Form into small balls and rub outsides with a small amount of butter. Place in an air fryer basket.
Transfer to the air fryer and set to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Cook for 10 to 12 minutes, turning halfway through. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 160 degrees F (70 degrees C).
