Kibbeht batata (potato kibbeh) swaps most of the meat in a kibbeh dough for mashed potato, held together with fine bulgur and flavoured with onion, cinnamon and herbs. It is an old home-cooking dish, cheaper and gentler than meat kibbeh, and in its meatless form it is a favourite during Lent, when many Lebanese Christians avoid meat. With a filling of spiced beef and pine nuts, it becomes a full family main course.<\/p>\n

The tray version below is the easiest way in: no shaping, just two layers of potato dough with the filling in between, scored into diamonds and baked. It is also very good cold the next day with pickles and a salad.<\/p>\n
