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 a bit too dry for my taste, but the flavor was still good.
