Kibbeh (or Kibby) is a mixture of seasoned ground meat and bulgur. You can make it into meatballs or a meat loaf. Using Near East brand tabbouleh makes it quick and authentic tasting.
Ingredients
12 oz ground lamb (or beef if you don't care for lamb)
1 box Near East tabbouleh mix, prepared with 1 cup of water and allowed to stand for 30 mins (Don't add the oil or tomatoes)
salt
pepper
Optional: Handful of raisins, some pine nuts
Also Optional, but really adds somthing: a little tomato sauce, ketchup, or even BBQ sauce for glazing.
Oven @ 335
Take all of the ingredients and mix in a bowl, except for what you're using for a glaze. Mix really well with your hands.
Spray (or oil) a shallow casserole dish and pat the mixture into the pan.
Spread the glaze over the top of the meat, cover with foil (or lid if your casserole has one).
Bake for about an hour.
That's it. Really.
What's in it for you
Both red meat and bulgur are a good source of B vitamins. Red meat also gives you zinc and bulgur adds fiber.
