Hi phaedrus
I am glad I found your web site....
Can you please help me find the recipe for Kibbee, but not any Kibbee..
I am looking for "Kibbee Hammoud".
It is Middle Eastern, made with Grounded Rice balls mixed with a little
and stuffed with a mixture of Minced Lamp and Onion and spices. then the
soup is made of chunks of Lamp on the bone, Turnip, Lemon Juice and spices.
after the soup is cooked those rice balls are dropped onto it... then after
it is cooked well... yum yum
the soup is easy enough to make. but I couldn't find a recipe for those rice
balls (I used to get them frozen from some shops).
the closest I got was this web Page... with instruction how to buy a CD for
this specific recipe!
although the soup seems a bit different in here, still it is very close.
Thank you and good luck...
Sincerely,
Hadeel

I am looking for a lost recipe. I have looked at more recipe sites that
I can remember in this search, but to no avail. I saw your site mentioned
in several places as a good place to come to.
It was on the box of Kraft philly light cream cheese many years ago and
I'm pretty sure it was called "spinach ricotta pie". Besides spinach and
ricotta and cream cheese, it had oregano which made it so yummy.
Thanks so much..

Hi Gail,
