Kibbeh

What is "kibbeh"?

Kibbeh is a traditional Middle Eastern dish that is made from ground meat, usually beef or lamb, that is mixed with bulgur wheat, onion, and a blend of spices. The mixture is typically shaped into small balls or patties and then fried or baked until crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. Kibbeh can also be made in a casserole-style dish with layers of the meat and bulgur mixture and a variety of fillings such as pine nuts, onions, or ground meat. The dish is often seasoned with a blend of spices such as cumin, coriander, and allspice, and can be served with a side of yogurt or a fresh salad. Kibbeh is a popular dish in many Middle Eastern countries such as Lebanon, Syria, and Iraq. It is often served at special occasions such as weddings or birthdays and is considered a symbol of hospitality and generosity in Middle Eastern culture.
