Kibbeh nayyeh

Kibbeh nayyeh or raw kibbeh is a Levantine mezze that likely originated in Aleppo, Syria. It consists of minced raw lamb (or beef) mixed with fine bulgur and spices. Kibbeh nayyeh is often served with mint leaves, olive oil, and green onions. Pita bread is used to scoop it. It is sometimes served with a sauce of garlic or olive oil. Leftovers are then cooked to create a different dish. Many recipes call for kibbe nayyeh as the "shell" for cooked kibbeh. In this case, however, the kibbe is rolled into a ball and stuffed with lamb, onions, pine nuts and spices, then fried.
