About Kibbeh

Kibbeh is a traditional dish originating from Middle Eastern cuisine, particularly popular in countries like Lebanon, Syria, and Iraq. It is typically made from a combination of bulgur wheat, ground meat (commonly lamb or beef), onions, and a variety of spices such as cinnamon and allspice. The mixture can be shaped into balls, patties, or baked into a pie, and it is often fried or baked. Kibbeh provides a good source of protein from the meat and fiber from the bulgur, making it a nutritious option when prepared in a healthy manner. However, the frying process commonly used for certain types of kibbeh can increase fat and calorie content. For a more health-conscious version, baking or grilling kibbeh is recommended. Rich in flavor and history, kibbeh remains a staple in Middle Eastern cuisine and a favorite among food enthusiasts worldwide.
