Kibbee Lebanese Style

Simple Lebanese style lamb kibbee. It’s a traditional basic recipe. Kibbee is to Middle Eastern cooking what a meatball is to Italian cooking. If you can not make it, stay out of the kitchen. I am not Lebanese by the way, but worked for 2 decades in a restaurant serving this type of food. I am actually Ukrainian.

Step: 1

Preheat an oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease an 8 inch square baking dish.

Step: 2

Soak bulgur in hot water until the bulgur expands and cools, about 10 minutes. Place the bulgur, mint, allspice, pepper, cinnamon, salt, onion, parsley, and lamb in a food processor. Process until well mixed, about 1 minute. Divide the lamb mixture and layer half in the baking dish, creating a large patty. Sprinkle pine nuts over the meat, then layer the remaining lamb on top, patting firmly. Cut the kibbee into 1 1/2 inch squares.

Step: 3

Bake in the preheated oven until the lamb is no longer pink in the middle, 30 to 35 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 160 degrees F (70 degrees C).

Depriving yourself can lead to lot of eat , late-night snacking, and mindless eats and it’s for this reason that Riner encourages people to indulge in “fun” foods every once in a while.

Avoidance on 2.00 AM snacking and cravings , it is much important to include some easy foods (or what one may perceive as unnecessary ). Meaning , if we always order the healthiest thing on the menu but come home and graze on chips, perhaps we really will the burger and should have just enjoyed it in the first place."

Because it comes to eat on evening , much eat or eating too much of the wrong item of food will make lead to bad habit on sleeping. On the flip side, a daylight food that is less than satiating not make leave you wanting more and resulting in reaching for an eat bad food late-night side dish even closer to bedtime .
