About Kubba

Kubba, also known as kibbeh, is a traditional dish originating from Middle Eastern cuisine, particularly popular in countries like Iraq, Lebanon, and Syria. It typically consists of a mixture of ground meat, usually lamb or beef, combined with bulgur wheat, spices, and onion, formed into oval shapes and either fried, baked, or served raw. Some variations may include fillings such as pine nuts or additional seasonings. Kubba is a rich source of protein from the meat and provides dietary fiber from the bulgur wheat, making it a satisfying and energy-dense meal. However, fried versions can be higher in fat and calories. Depending on preparation, it can also be a good source of vitamins like B6 and essential minerals like iron. Enjoyed as an appetizer, side dish, or main course, kubba showcases the depth and variety of flavors inherent in Middle Eastern culinary traditions.
