yes my family loves it with lemon squeezed on top and yes mixing in pine nuts is great too :)
By: dedemed
it's delicious if you squeeze a bit of lemon on it and you can also use pine nuts with the mixture if you like
By: carolejshaffer
yes, with my recipe, the meat is fully cooked all the way, nothing to worry about :)
By: dedemed
K, one question.. Is the meat being properly cooked when you cook it lyk tht.. Cause My mom is always saying its uncooked even though i luv it tha way it is! ( lol u should see her face when me n my dad eat kubi! Lol well shes frm india n my dads from saudi..) so yeah...
By: ThoughtfulThoughts7
all the meat shrinks, you can fold them over to make them look more appealing. Meat always shrinks when you cook it b/c moisture is released, you did nothing wrong, it's just how meat cooks. Just try pushing the meat out as far as possible when you are spreading it on the dough :)
By: dedemed
sahtain! I am so happy that you liked them :)
By: dedemed
omg i tried this a week ago and they were awesome! i has so much dough and meat i figured i may as well make like 2 dozens...and they freeze well once fully baked. bil hana wil sheefa.
By: catherine milla
Thanks for the recipe, the dough is good, the meat tastes good too, but my meat shrunk a lot. Where did I go wrong?

@yvettemcfarlane that's wonderful Yvette, don't forget to check out my site for the written recipes :)

I'm sure you won't be surprised to hear that we have this in Turkey too.
By: Metsada007
there really is no difference in the recipe, just the shape.  You can also add ground jalapeno to the meat mix and that tastes great too :)
By: dedemed
oh, and btw, hello from falasteen!
By: jasminea123
cool...its nice to know the lingo. I'm not a know-it-all on Pali, or for that matter Arab cuisine and such, I've never seen a square (unless custom done) meat pie (and by "meat pie" strictly referring to "lahme bi ajeen")...what is the difference between the two?
By: jasminea123
In Lebanon, sfeeha is the square meet pies :)
