Kibbeh is a beloved Lebanese dish made by blending finely ground meat (usually lamb or beef), bulgur wheat, and onions, seasoned with Middle Eastern spices like cinnamon, allspice, and black pepper. The mixture is formed into torpedo-shaped croquettes, baked, fried, or served raw (kibbeh nayyeh). In its most iconic form—kibbeh mekliyeh—it is deep-fried and stuffed with sautéed minced meat, pine nuts, and onions. Native to Lebanon and the Levant, kibbeh is a staple at feasts, mezze spreads, and religious holidays, celebrated for its balance of texture and flavor.

Common variations include kibbeh bil sanieh (baked tray kibbeh), kibbeh labanieh (in yogurt sauce), and kibbeh nayyeh (raw).
