We oven-baked them instead of frying them to give you a healthier nibble, perfect on its own or with a salad.
In a bowl, soak the bulgur with the given water for 15 minutes.
For the filling, heat chopped onions, walnuts, half of the spice mix, chickpeas and splash of water in a skillet for 5 min. Then, add chopped parsley, dates and set aside.
Now, blitz the bulgur in a blender with chickpeas, oil, flour, and half of the spice mix into a smooth dough. Then, let it harden in the fridge for 15 minutes.

Then, fill the hole with two teaspoons of filling.
Seal the hole by pinching the dough, and give it a torpedo shape or roll it into a ball.
Now, bake the kibbeh balls for 25 minutes at 220°C (430°F).
Serve them warm with tahini dressing and a tabbouleh salad.
