Baked Kibbee (Syrian Meatloaf) image

There are many variations on kibbee. This is the one my husband grew up with; it comes from a cookbook published by his grandmother's Armenian orthodox church. Fortunately, leftover kibbee is delicious, because this recipe makes a LOT.

I love to make a big tray of these and keep them in the freezer for quick dinners, or pull them out and take them to work for lunch, they microwave great. I had hesitations about the cinnamon in this recipe, but it's fantastic, I absolutely love the flavor! This recipe makes 18 pieces, I normally eat 2 per meal.

KIBBIE SENIYEH (PAN BAKED KIBBEE)



Kibbie Seniyeh (Pan Baked Kibbee) image

This is the kibbee that I've learned how to make a teenager. I do not have a meat grinder, and it still turns out well. I also tend to add more pine nuts and allspice than the recipe calls for as my family and I enjoy the taste of them.
