Thanks Fouad! My girlfriend and I tried this recipe tonight and it was delicious! I particularly liked how all the different flavors retained their individuality while complementing each other beautifully. It never would have occurred to me to caramelize onions with star anise. Since I didn’t have any, I substituted allspice and cloves, but that worked too! I think I may make this for my family for this Thanksgiving.

Hi Dominica
Sure, I guess there’s no harm. Give it a go and let me know.

I am making this for Easter! just one question though- is it ok to swap out the white onion for red or for leeks? white onion and i don’t get along so well…

I made this last night, it was quite tasty but i added too much bulgar which made it a bit dry.

Hi Stephanie. I’m so glad you tried it! If you found it too heavy, try using less burghul next time. Nice flavours, right?

Hi Tom. Love your blog too! Vashon Island sounds wonderful. Did you end up trying the kibbeh?

Marhaba Vivianne. This kibbeh must be coming out of your ears this far into lent! Hope all is well in Lebanon

Hi Joumana. Do let me know if you try this recipe. Would love to hear your feedback.

Hi Joy. thanks for visiting. To me, nothing beats home made kibbeh. I’ve never had amazing kibbeh at a restaurant. Try making it, and you’ll be seriously surprised.

Hi Paty. thanks! Didn’t expect anyone to like the design, so I’m glad you do.

Hey Amanda. Just noticed that I’m having issues with your feed url. Have a look. I havent been receiving updates.

Hi Muppy. Thanks for visiting. Do let me know if you end up making it.

Marhaba Cecile. Thanks for your comment. I haven’t looked into Ayurveda in any serious way. My food is usually 80% raw/vegetarian/Low GI, and it seems to work for me. Your friend’s store sounds fantastic. I can’t say I wasn’t tempted to leaving Sydney and heading to Mullumbimby myself! Hope one of my readers finds this an interesting opportunity.

Hi Fouad, Love your beautiful pumpkin kibbe – looks appetising and easy.
Are you interested in Ayurvedic cooking? I have cured some serious indigestion with it.
A friend of mine has a great businessfor sale: Pharaoh’s Pantry, a Middle eastern grocery store in Mullumbimby. Maybe you have a young energetic foodie friend who would be interested in a great village life style near the coast. I can see them selling warm m’naish, fresh labne, tabbouleh, fatousch….
Anyway thanks for your passionate blog -keep it up.
Sahtein to you and your fans,
Cecile

I just made this Fouad and it was great! And so incredibly filling. My pumpkin must have been on the dry side because I didn’t need to squeeze any moisture out or use any flour, which of course made the whole process even easier. And your design on top left mine for dead!

Hi Fouad – love reading your blog. Thanks for this recipe – have just eaten vegetarian baked kibbeh (bought from the great food store Oasis in suburban Melbourne), which was ok, but this recipe sounds great and I’ll certainly be making it.

Beautiful kibbeh Fouad and next time I make it you bet i will try your technique~ which sounds excellent. I think you are being hard on yourself: the design looks excellent to me, beautiful in an organic way;

This is one of the most original recipes I’ve seen in a long time. I did a double take when I saw pumpkin and kibbeh in the same title. I have one Queensland Blue pumpkin left in the pantry and this recipe is likely to be its destiny. Warm regards from the Pacific Northwest. Great blog!

Looks and sounds great, Fouad! And I quite like the not-quite-perfect drawing. At least it doesn’t look factory-made!

This looks and sounds amazing, Fouad! Bookmarking as the perfect thing to cook for a good vegetarian friend of mine who’s moving back to Oz shortly after several years overseas. Thanks!
