Kibbeh

"Trader Joe's Kibbeh are Middle Eastern Inspired Stuffed Meatballs—which is to say, they are more than just simple balls of meat! Our supplier sautés ground beef with onions and seasonings, including cumin and coriander. The seasoned meat and onion mixture is formed into balls, which are then wrapped in a breading to be fried. What's interesting about this breading, however, is that it’s not just made of grains, but it's a combination of cracked bulgur wheat and farina that's been pounded together with ground beef. That's right; it's a meatball wrapped in more meat! The Kibbeh are finally fried in sunflower oil, flash-frozen, and packaged six to a box, so you can bake them at home in your conventional oven until they’re heated through and crisp on the outside. Alternatively, you can also boil them in lightly salted water for a traditional preparation that results in a more tender bite. Either way, Trader Joe's Kibbeh are a natural match with any of our Middle Eastern inspired meze condiments, such as Zhoug Sauce, Herbed Tahini Sauce, or Tzatziki Creamy Garlic Cucumber Dip."
