| | 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. |
