What does KIBBE mean in Scrabble?
noun
A Middle Eastern dish made from finely ground meat mixed with bulgur wheat and spices, shaped and either baked, fried or served raw.
A cook preparing kibbe pounds or grinds lamb or beef together with soaked bulgur, onion and spices such as allspice or cinnamon until the mixture holds together, then shapes it into patties, balls or a stuffed torpedo form before cooking. Some households serve kibbe raw, similar to steak tartare, while others fry or bake it until the outside turns golden. The dish is a staple across Lebanon, Syria and neighboring countries, and nearly every family keeps its own recipe. Kibbe is also written kibbeh in many cookbooks, reflecting its Arabic origin.
