I am making my Iraqi grandma Bahija’s kibbeh humda right now and I wanted to show my mom that some fry the kibbeh instead of cooking it in tomato sauce as we do: I stumbled upon this video and it warms my heart that others are making grandma’s kibbeh. Once in America after teaching my mom to make the kibbeh, my family began eating the meat and such over cooked bismati rice. My grandma said you don’t need it! It’s in the meat pies! God bless her heart and soul, and your mom and grandma too. I’d love to share some other of our and your grandmas recipes and compare! Like chicken mynarinj, ras asfour, dolma, kufta (meat in tomato and lemon juice with green pepper and onion served on rice) bureg, potato chops, fish curry, beef curry, chicken curry rice, shariah, etc
Thank you so much for this kind message we are so glad you found this video. Hope you enjoyed your grandma Bahija's recipe. Food is the best way to keep these memories alive!
My mother and grandmother used to make kubbeh both ways (with cream of rice, and with bulgur). They did used to called [their variation] of this one kubbeh Baghdadi. I don't believe they used meat in the breading. And instead of boiling it in the tomato sauce, they would put the sauce and the kubbeh all in a deep Pyrex baking dish and cook it in the oven. I also remember there being parsley in all of it - meat, breading, and sauce, and some lemon juice in the sauce. Interestingly, I have an aunt from Halab, and she never makes it this way, only with bulgur.
Thanks very much for sharing this! Very interesting technique, never had a dumpling with meat in the dough, but I bet it turned out delicious! If I try it though, I'll definitely be looking for steps to skip... Small meat balls already feel like a lot of work and you don't have to put a meat filling in each one! I'm curious how the cream of rice changes the texture of the ground beef. It also looks like you got an extremely smooth consistency to the meat with the food processor, which might be something interesting for me to experiment with on its own. May the memory of your grandmother live on forever!
WOW looks so good!!!! I KNOW NO MATTER WHAT MOMS FOOD IS D BEST
