Kubba Mosul

Iraq · Middle East and North Africa

Short description: This large flattened dumpling is cooked as a broad disk rather than small balls.
Ingredients: Fine bulgur, minced lamb or beef, onion, baharat, allspice, cinnamon, black pepper, salt, oil, and pine nuts or almonds.
Cultural note: It is associated with northern city kitchens where one large piece can be sliced for a table.
Common misconception: It is not the small oval version; this style is broad, flat, and sliceable.
