Answers:
Basic kibbeh recipe:

2 c burghul
2 lbs lean lamb
1 lg onion
1T salt
1 t ground pepper (freshly ground, if possible)
1 t ground allspice
1/2 c iced water

1. Place burghul in a bowl, cover w/cold water & let soak 10 minutes. Drain in a sieve & press w/a spoon to drain out as much water as possible. Spread it out in a flat dish & refrigerate 1 - 2 hours to further dry it.

2. Trim all fat & fine skin from the lamb & cut into cubes. Chill for one hour.

3. W/a food processor, process a quarter of the meat at a time until it reaches a paste-like consistency. Transfer to a large bowl. Process onion to a thick liquid & add to meat. Combine meat w/onion, seasoning, spices & burghul. Process again in six lots, adding a tablespoon of cold water to each lot. Combine again in a bowl & give a final knead by hand. Cover & chill until required.

Kibbeh Nayye:

1 quantity of kibbeh (above)
1/4 c olive oil
1 c sliced spring onions (inc green tops)
lemon wedges
4-6 pitas, cut into quarters

1. Make kibbeh as above

2. After final kneading, place on a large oval platter & spread it out flat. Round the edges & smooth the top, using hand dipped in ice water. Make a drepession in the center w/thumb & w/the sides of the forefinger make 2 grooves along & across kibbe to the edges.

3. Place kibbeh in fridge & chill for about an hour, until the color takes on a pleasant red. The cold plus oxygen brings up the color.

4. To serve, drizzle olive oil in center depression & along grooves. Garnish w/a ring of sliced spring onions around edge. Place washed & crisped lettuce leaves in a bowl, lemon wedges in another bowl, & pita in a bsket. The kibbe is scooped up w/either the lettuce leaves or pita, & lemon juice is squeezed on if desired.

NOTE: Kibbe Nayye should be eaten the same day it is made. Any left over should be used for a cooked kibbe dish.
