Kibbeh bil Saniyeh

Kibbeh bil Saniyeh (كبة بالصينية) — known also as kibbeh lahme — is the iconic baked kibbeh tray of Lebanese home cooking. Two layers of fine bulgur-and-lamb kibbeh shell sandwich a rich middle filling of sautéed spiced lamb, deeply caramelized onions, and toasted pine nuts. The surface is scored into the classic diamond pattern, brushed with olive oil, and baked until golden and just slightly crisp on top.

The quality depends entirely on the meat-to-bulgur ratio, the seasoning of every layer, and the attention during baking. Mirna uses a high meat-to-bulgur ratio and doesn't spare the filling — kibbeh lahme bil saniyeh from Gourmet Saad is the real thing: rich, fragrant, and exactly as it should taste.

Served warm with plain yoghurt and a simple salad, it's a complete Lebanese meal. One 30 cm tray serves 3–4 people. Available for pickup in Fanar and delivery across Metn and Beirut.
