Traditional Kebbe image

Kebbe(or Kibbeh, this is how my family spells it) is Lebanon's national dish. My family has been using this recipe for many generations, hence the metric measurements. The flavor of this dish is best when you use the freshest ingredients.

The kebbe was delicious, but it was a little too spicy for my taste.

I found that the kebbe was a little dry, so I added some extra sauce.

Kebbe is a great dish to serve at a party or potluck, as it can be made ahead of time and reheated when ready to serve.
