As a nation we are probably now at the stage where we can recognise the greatness of Lebanese kibbeh nayyeh.
Not so long ago, the idea of kibbeh nayyeh probably would have made a lot of people pause and reconsider. Bear in mind, there was a time when steak tartare didn’t appear on absolutely every menu in every new Australian restaurant . Even the idea of carpaccio had to be slowly ushered in. So how about the classic Lebanese dish kibbeh nayyeh, a mix of raw minced lamb with fine bulgur and spices?That’s a punchy dish: a big plate of raw lamb , often garnished with raw onion.
Let’s begin with the likely version: kibbeh nayyeh evolved in the city of Aleppo, in Syria, where inhabitants would slaughter animals on Sundays and feast days and eat the fresh meat raw . The colourful version involves a 13th-century siege in northern Lebanon, in which a group of Christian Maronites were forced to bunker down in a grotto, under attack from Mamluk soldiers. Unwilling to display their position by lighting cooking fires, the Maronites ate their meat raw.
