Kibbeh are the iconic football-shaped croquettes with roots in the Middle East. They typically consist of ground lamb or beef, herbs, spices, and bulgur.

Celebrated as the national dish of Lebanon and Syria, this rendition of kibbeh takes a flavorful twist, incorporating a combination of white or baby bella mushrooms and ground meat for a succulent texture and savory taste.

Whether enjoyed as a shared appetizer, a versatile side dish, or as part of a mezze spread, these crispy and robust meat and mushroom kibbeh shine when paired with salted yogurt and adorned with mint leaves.
