Kibbe Nayeh - A Treat for Ed

Kibbe nayeh (kib'-bee nigh'-yay) is a Mediterranean food like steak tartare - it is seasoned ground raw beef mixed with cracked wheat. Their mother used to make it and Ed looked forward to going to his sister's all week for this treat.

Sisterly love!

Ed likes to pour a bit of olive oil over it and eat it with crisp onions and pita bread. Here's Ed in 7th heaven!

That dish sounds interesting. I like salmon sushi and some uncooked seafood appetizers, so kibbe nayeh wouldn't be such a stretch. What kind of seasoning is on the ground beef? You know how I enjoy food and spices!
