• Add your salt, pepper and allspice.
• Drain any excess fat from the filling.
• Add the toasted pine nuts.

  Kibbeh

• Soak your hands in cold water. Take a small piece of dough.
• Push with your index finger into the center of the ball making an indentation or place for the filling to go. The hole should be long in length in order to fill the dough ball.
• Once this is done take a small amount of the filling and place it into the ball.
• Close the ball with your index finger and thumb. Repeat this step with every ball.
• Once all of them are made, you will heat up your frying oil and place each Kibbee Ball into the hot oil for frying.
