This incredible Middle Eastern Kibbeh Recipe is small croquet-like balls using lamb, bulgur wheat, and spices for an amazing meal. You won't believe just how flavorful these are.

Kibbeh is a popular middle eastern dish with a myriad of variations that combine ground meat and bulgur wheat. There are two specific parts to kibbeh, an outside shell, and an inside filling. Kibbeh is the national dish of both Syria and Lebanon.

This is easy to make a recipe that can be served as an appetizer or an entrée and is incredibly classic to serve in Lebanon with a garlic yogurt sauce which then makes it known as kibbeh bi labanieh. You won't believe how far 2 pounds of meat can be stretched when serving this up to friends or family.
