About Fried kibbeh

Fried Kibbeh is a popular dish from Middle Eastern cuisine, particularly Lebanese, Syrian, and Iraqi traditions. Made from a blend of finely ground bulgur wheat, minced meat (commonly lamb or beef), onions, and a mix of warm spices like cinnamon and allspice, it is shaped into oval forms and deep-fried to a crispy perfection. While its crunchy exterior and savory filling make it irresistible, the dish is calorie-dense due to the frying process and its high fat content. However, bulgur wheat provides fiber and essential nutrients, and the meat contributes protein. Fried Kibbeh is best enjoyed in moderation as part of a balanced diet and pairs well with fresh salad or yogurt-based sauces to lighten its richness.
