RECIPE: PUMPKIN SPICE STUFFED KIBBEH
October 13, 2015
Tis the season for pumpkin spice.. and kibbeh. As you know, I have a special place in my heart for mediterranean food; my diet consists of spinach and feta mostly. So, I thought I'd venture off and try a new mediterranean specialty: kibbeh. Kibbeh is a Levantine dish made of bulgur (cracked wheat), onions, garlick, and whatever else floats your boat. Some choose a savory option, I chose to go down a sweet path this time, in the spirit of fall. This kibbeh dish pairs well with vanilla greek yogurt. Enjoy!
All of the ingredients in a bowl look like I'm making pumpkin bread. It's very promising.
This is the filling: pinto beans, tomatoes, spinach, feta, and olive oil.
Who said pumpkin and spinach can't play together nicely?
