Author Notes: Kibbeh, a Lebanese dish made from freshly ground lamb and/or beef, spices and lots of mint, can be eaten baked, fried or even raw like a tartare. This version works well raw or pan fried. In cities with a large population of Lebanese and Syrians, the butchers will prepare a special grind of meat for Kibbeh. This is especially recommended if you intend to eat your Kibbeh raw as in this recipe. Suzy Hicks shared this recipe with us.
Ingredients: 1 pound of ground lamb or ground round beef, ground extra fine
1 cup bulghur wheat
1 white onion finely minced
2 tablespoons fresh mint
cumin, salt and pepper to taste
Instructions: Soak the bugher wheat in water or lemon juice for 1 hour to soften. Drain excess liquid.

Mix all ingredients together, and let this sit in refrigerator for at least a couple of hours. Serve either raw with pita bread (or you can pan fry it to desired doneness).
