Kebbe is a mixture of lean meat with cracked wheat or bulgur, typical to the Middle Eastern region. It is
usually prepared at home and rolled in pieces, but can be store bought frozen. This is a traditional recipe from Aleppo, I learned it from my mother in law and adapted it so to have less saturated fat and meat. It is very nourishing and satisfying, and convenient for all family members.
