Kibbeh nayyeh

Kibbeh nayyeh (also known as raw kibbeh) is a special Lebanese dish made with raw beef or lamb meat that has been finely ground up and mixed with bulgur (a type of cracked wheat), onions, spices, and sometimes mint leaves.

It's a bit like making a meatball, but instead of cooking the meat, it's served raw!

To eat kibbeh nayyeh, you take a small piece of the meat mixture and shape it into a little ball or patty. You can then eat it on its own or wrap it in lettuce leaves or pita bread.

Because the meat is raw, it's important to make sure it's fresh and to keep it refrigerated until just before you're ready to serve it. It's also a good idea to only make kibbeh nayyeh using high-quality meat from a trusted source.

Overall, kibbeh nayyeh is a traditional Lebanese dish that's great for special occasions or as a tasty snack or appetizer.
