For a richer flavor, consider using a blend of lamb and beef. Serve Kibbeh with a generous dollop of tahini and a side of fresh vegetables. Kibbeh can also be baked at 375°F (190°C) for approximately 25-30 minutes, or until golden brown. Adjust the amount of spices according to your personal preference. A pinch of cayenne pepper can add a subtle kick.
