Tips
Kibbeh is best served warm, on an elegant platter. It pairs perfectly with natural yogurt and a fresh salad of tomatoes and cucumbers. You can garnish with fresh herbs, such as mint or parsley, to add color.
Store leftover kibbeh in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. They can also be frozen for up to 3 months. It is best to reheat in the oven at 180°C for about 10-15 minutes to restore crispiness.
