Lebanese Meatloaf image

"My father is Lebanese. I remember the flat bread that his sister made, and grape leaves, and kibbeh-the foods we ate when we gathered as a family. Kibbeh was sort of a steak tartare. My dad ate it raw; no one else would. We flattened it in a pan and baked it like meat loaf," says fiber artist Dana Boussard of Arlee, Montana. I got this recipe off a Middle Eastern food site. It sounds so good and has 4 STAR RATING. I thought others might like it too. I am posting this dish for World Tour 2-Middle Eastern
