Kibbeh
Description
The recipe won't take much time. It's quite an interesting dish, something in between kofta and meatballs. It looks very appealing. If you're afraid the breading might become dry, pour a little water onto the foil and cover it from the top. But usually, this doesn't happen. You can use any ground meat you prefer, the main thing is that it shouldn't be too fatty. Serve hot.
