...Hi and thanks for the wonderfull recipe and blog!<br />I used a deep fat fryer to finish off the Kibbe and they were perfectly done, crispy on the outside - cooked and moist on the inside.<br />Looking forward to more recipe ideas.radimushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10830381087310964908noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5262628558438346351.post-22521218183011841562010-08-21T11:07:48.117-05:002010-08-21T11:07:48.117-05:00Hi Nadine- I hadn't heard to kamoun before, b...Hi Nadine- I hadn't heard to kamoun before, but it sounds very interesting. Is it spelled differently than the word for cumin? It sounds similar to a homemade kishk, without the laban. I am familiar with the pumpkin version and have written about it here before (see link in post above).Mercedeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00097330009175643958noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5262628558438346351.post-43111722511719637612010-08-19T17:18:42.032-05:002010-08-19T17:18:42.032-05:00I love Kibbeh, (I am Lebanese), inthe south of Leb...I love Kibbeh, (I am Lebanese), inthe south of Lebanon they add something called "Kamoon" which is bulgur mixed with basil, mint and onions in a food processor and left dry in the sun for days...it gives a great taste to kibbeh (especially the one in the pan). you can use the kamoon with crushed tomatoes or boiled potatoes..delicious...I also wanted to tell you that there is a vegetarian Kibbeh made with pumpkin instead of meat and filled with chick peas and spinach..delicious tooNadinenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5262628558438346351.post-12304779574960761932010-08-18T00:37:14.052-05:002010-08-18T00:37:14.052-05:00another 3arabiya blogging. nice to meet u :)another 3arabiya blogging. nice to meet u :)Michigan Food Bloghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09048781526643678230noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5262628558438346351.post-12843248496351359492010-08-11T17:09:36.448-05:002010-08-11T17:09:36.448-05:00Gretchen, you're correct, thanks for the proof...Gretchen, you're correct, thanks for the proofreading :) Yes, a Middle Eastern grocery should definitely carry seven-spice mix, but you can always mix your own. Also, see the note in the header, even kibbeh in a pan should have the inner and outer layers, though they aren't terribly distinguishable.Mercedeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00097330009175643958noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5262628558438346351.post-82628909667350236322010-08-10T23:35:17.439-05:002010-08-10T23:35:17.439-05:00I really want to make this.

The whole thing was meat and bulgur, etc.<br /><br />About your recipe, under #4 where you are describing how to fill the shell, you say "Take a spoonful of the filling in your hand and press your thumb into the middle to make a cavity." I assume you meant to say "shell mix" instead of "filling" in that sentence?<br /><br />Also, is the Seven Spice Mix also available at the Middle Eastern store? Because I do have such a store in my very town, and I love to shop there. I even bought some fine bulgur a while back with no idea what I was going to do with it. Now I know!GretchenJoannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13641677400029070452noreply@blogger.com
