This is the video I’ve been looking for! Just had some incredible Kibbeh in Los Angeles. The casing was so thin & crisped and the filling was so moist. This is the only video that looks to be achieving something similar. Thank you!

My grandparents came to Paraguay from Muhradah Syria and our syrian food is the most important family thing we have, every time my mom made kibbeh (fryed, baked, grilled or on soup) we remembered where we came from and what we are. Thank you for the video.

Okay, this is BY FAR the most complete video oh kibbeh recipe that i've seen on youtube, Bushra! Thank you SO MUCH!
I'm brazilian, but my father's side of the family is lebanese and i've been trying to make a kibbeh thats as tasty as my great grandfather used to make when I was a kid, and could never achieve it. My kibbeh dough never looks as smooth as yours and always ends up looking super chunky and sometimes it breaks apart when i'm frying it. After seeing your video I think I may be using the wrong type of bulgur... the ones i usually find here in brazil are very dark and chunky! I'll look for syrian or lebanese bulgur online the next time.
Again, Bushra, thank you! I'm so glad you're back on Youtube!

Thank you. I miss it so much. I used to cook it a lot while I was in Lebanon. The kids and me really love it a lot.

[judithn.jean-antoine]

This is the perfect recepe, I am not Lebanese or Syrienne but in my country ( Martinique)many of those nations migrate in our country so we exchange our culture.
So her version is the BEST...
Very tasty, healthy, bulgur grain is fiber the oat from bulgur grain and all other ingredients make even the best. Bake or fried in olive oil for frying its amazing..
Thank you ...
