I know - I know - I am Italian. However, we have Labanese friends and they would bring over pita bread, grape leaves and kibbeh. So good! I remember how my Nana's friend could take a large pieces of pita and rip it in 1/2 the long way so each person got one half of a large pita and made us an amazing sandwich. Sometimes I wish i was that little girl in at my Nana's house!
I love lamb and that is the traditional way to make kibbeh but not everyone enjoys it so I decided to make it with beef and will put out a large platter to serve the kibbeh by adding grape leaves, hummus, tabouleh, lettuce, cucumbers, feta cheese, olives and extra-virgin olive oil.
Enjoy
