Kubba - A Delicious and Versatile Middle Eastern Dish

Kubba (Arabic: كبة) is a traditional dish from the Middle East and North Africa, made of ground meat (usually lamb or beef) mixed with bulgur (cracked wheat) and spices, and baked in a large bowl or mold. The dough is usually topped with a layer of yogurt or cheese before being baked.

Kubba can be served as a main course or as an appetizer, and it is often garnished with chopped nuts, herbs, or pomegranate seeds. It is a popular dish in many Middle Eastern and North African countries, including Iraq, Iran, Turkey, Lebanon, Syria, Jordan, and Egypt.

The name "kubba" is derived from the Arabic word for "dough" or "pastry," and the dish is also known by other names such as "kibbeh" or "kibbi." There are many variations of kubba, depending on the region and the cook's preferences, but it is generally a flavorful and satisfying dish that is enjoyed by people of all backgrounds.
