Could someone put or like a few recipes for Kibbeh?

Kibbie Nayee

1 lb lean ground beef 1-1/2 cup fine bulgur wheat (#1 grade) 2 tsp. salt 1/2 tsp. black pepper Bowl of ice water

As this dish is served raw, get your beef from a trusted source. The butcher should grind the meat first thing in the morning (after having cleaned the equipment well when closing the night before). Ask for the meat to be ground twice.

Pour the bulgur wheat into a mixing bowl; rinse well with cold water. Drain most of the water off. Add remaining ingredients to the bulgur. Mix well, dipping your hands into the ice water frequently. Place on platter and refrigerate

Kibbie is best when served with olive oil, raw onion slices, and Arabic (pita) bread.

Syria and Levant
Lebanon is not part of north africa --204.164.72.70 (talk) 18:04, 23 February 2015 (UTC) Your edit summary is vague. Yes Syria is part of Levant, and so is Lebanon and Jordan; what do you mean? Maybe you confused the historical region of Syria with the modern country of Syria established in 1936.

Put back the previous version please. HD1986 (talk) 19:17, 18 October 2008 (UTC)


 * I agree with you that the country of modern Syria should be mentioned. That was an oversight and I will fix it. --macrakis (talk) 19:22, 18 October 2008 (UTC)

Radical change
like this needs consensus. --Supreme Deliciousness (talk) 00:09, 7 March 2010 (UTC)

Unexplained changes
27.32.42.246, what is the reason for you removing the Arabic translation, replacing Levantine/Levantine Arab with Lebanese and removing all Arab category's except Lebanons? You have also misrepresented a source when you changed it to "Lebanese torpedos", this is not what the source says. Furthermore this source: shows it being Arab, as the source speaks of it in the Dominican Republic and its Arabic origin. --Supreme Deliciousness (talk) 10:36, 25 March 2011 (UTC)

/Kibbeh Origin
Hey Supreme Deliciousness, let me explain the recent change. The source you had there before was from a Latino cookbook, which stated Kibbeh was Arabic in origin, now last time I checked Arabic is a language and not a region, if they were to say Arab in origin that would also be a cultural/linguistical label unless they were talking about it's origins in Arabia, which is simply not what the literature says. The dish is native to the Levant region of the Mediterranean and was spread around the Arab world due to the sharing of cultures and customs during the Islamic age. The source I have added states it's clear origin in the Levant, a region, not a language, and is also a reliable source. Lazyfoxx (talk) 20:34, 30 July 2013 (UTC)

Merger proposal, 09 September 2021
I have proposed merging Kubbeh into Kibbeh, since it is the same food, the former just being an article dedicated to the serving of kibbeh in a soup - a serving style that is already mentioned on the Kibbeh page. The effect is significant duplication. Iskandar 323 (talk) 08:53, 8 September 2021 (UTC)

that's just incorrect, not the same food at all. different places of origin too יונתן שושן (talk)

Oppose. The two are completely different foods, with different origins, and from different regions. Mupper-san (talk) 04:51, 20 February 2022 (UTC)
 * Oppose. Entirely different dishes. WWGB (talk) 05:45, 20 February 2022 (UTC)
 * Closing, given the consensus not to merge. Klbrain (talk) 22:34, 12 March 2022 (UTC)

Remove Israel from the countries of origins
The state of Israel did not even exist when this dish came to be so why is it in the list of countries of origin? And why does someone keep adding it after it gets removed? Is there a reliable source to confirm that kibbeh is a dish originating from the state of Israel or is this being done with malicious intent? If it is from Palestine then say it's from Palestine. 3m25el (talk) 19:12, 26 February 2024 (UTC)
 * Perhaps editors are confused between the lead ("versions are found in Israel") and the infobox ("place of origin"). I agree there is no evidence that the dish originated in Israel. WWGB (talk) 08:12, 27 February 2024 (UTC)
