In this Kibbeh Bil Sanieh recipe the beef hashweh or 'stuffing' is spread into a baking dish, layered with the kibbeh mixture and then baked. Kibbeh Bil Sanieh is considered more of a main dish while the Kibbeh Balls are more of an appetizer or mezze- making this recipe in a large dish is popular because it is less time consuming than shaping the individual balls. This recipe can be made ahead and frozen for three months before baking- allow it to thoroughly defrost, brush with oil, then bake. Serve with yoghurt and a fattoush salad.
