Mateo’s Kibis


A kibis are made from rough ground wheat and filled with different meats or cheese then they are fried. Kibis are football shaped and topped with picked red onion, shredded white cabbage and herbs. The recipe used at Mateo’s is adjusted as such:

1 pound of ground Progressive Pastures beef
1 pound of wheat
2 white onion diced
2 cloves garlic diced
1 bunch cilantro chopped
2 bundles of peppermint chopped
1 habanero pepper
Capers
Salt
Pepper

Soak the wheat for 2 hours in water until the grain doubles in size.
Mix onions, beef, wheat, mint, salt, pepper, and capers together and mold them in the palm of your hands into the desired shape.
Allow them to rest for about an hour to keep the shape.
Fry them on both sides until they are a nice golden-brown color.
Combine the cured red onions, diced habanero, lemon juice and use to garnish.
Serve over a bed of greens.
