About Kibbeh labanieh

Kibbeh Labanieh is a traditional Middle Eastern dish, especially popular in Levantine cuisine. It features spiced ground meat, typically beef or lamb, mixed with bulgur wheat, onion, and aromatic spices, formed into football-shaped dumplings. These kibbeh are cooked in a tangy yogurt sauce infused with garlic, mint, and sometimes cilantro for added flavor. High in protein due to the meat and yogurt, Kibbeh Labanieh also provides fiber from the bulgur wheat. The yogurt sauce is a good source of calcium and probiotics, benefiting digestion and bone health. However, the dish's calorie content can be high, especially if fried instead of boiled, and the saturated fat from the meat and yogurt should be consumed in moderation. Pairing it with a fresh salad or roasted vegetables can make it a more balanced meal. This comfort food beautifully combines rich flavors and creamy textures, making it a beloved staple in its region of origin.
