  Margarita's Recipes: Holiday/Arab: Baked Kibbeh
Stuffed kibbeh - a dish of spiced ground meat covered in a shell of very light uncooked ground meat - is one of my husband's favorite dishes.
There is very little difference between stuffed and baked kibbeh beyond the cooking method.
The baked version is easier to prepare for a party as you don't have to be boiling the meatballs at the last minute.

  Kibbeh - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Kibbeh (also kibbee) is a common food in North Africa, the Middle East, and parts of the Caucasus such as Armenia.
In its most common form, it consists of minced lamb mixed with bulgur and spices, stuffed inside a bulgur pastry crust and grilled or fried.
The meat and bulgur mix, without the crust, is often served raw (called kibbeh nayye), similar to steak tartare.

Kibbeh hamda, for instance, are simmered in a sauce made sour by lemon juice (hamud means "sour" in Arabic), additionally flavored with garlic and mint.
The kibbeh shell may or may not include finely ground beef along with the bulgur (and the bulgur may be replaced by ground rice), while in the filling the traditional beef or lamb is sometimes replaced with ground chicken or turkey by modern cooks looking to reduce their consumption of red meat.
Kibbeh, in fact, need not be a dumpling at all, as in the case of the popular dish kibbeh fel saniyeh.

 What are kibbeh & how do you make them?
At its root, kibbeh is an oblong meatball of lamb and moistened bulgur, stuffed with cooked meat, vegetables, spices, and nuts.
It can also be made with rice, semolina, or matzo meal instead of bulgur, and with fish, spinach, red lentils, pumpkins, potatoes, veal, beef, rabbit, turkey, and other ingredients.
Wolfert says kibbeh is not an "overrated meatball, but one of the most interesting forms of ground meat cookery." Indeed, she says, the Middle East is the only part of the world where the meatball is "truly exalted" — when it's well made, that is.

The seasonings and proportions were perfect, but the kibbeh had been cooked almost dry, perhaps because it was made of beef instead of the traditional, moister lamb.

Kibbeh comes in several forms: It's sometimes served raw, like steak tartare ("Kibbeh Nyi"), and is often deep-fried in individual football-shaped portions about the size of lemons ("Kibbeh Meklieh").
Whichever way you prepare it, the secret to real kibbeh lies in fashioning an outer portion and a center filling that use the lamb in slightly different ways to create an appealing contrast of flavors and textures that combine tender lamb, crunchy toasted pine nuts and a symphony of exotic herbs and spice.
To make the outer portion of the kibbeh: Blend the bulgur with about two-thirds of the lamb, mixing with a fork and your hands until the meat and grains form a smooth paste, adding a little water (maybe 1/4 to 1/2 cup) if necessary.
