Kubbah labanīyah is a traditional dish consisting of meatballs cooked in a yogurt-based soup. It is typically prepared with raw or pre-cooked meatballs consisting of minced lamb, bulgur, and onions, which are added to a mixture of plain yogurt, beaten eggs, diluted cornflour, and chicken, beef, or lamb stock, and then simmered until the meatballs are cooked through and the soup has thickened. The soup is usually flavored with a blend of mint and garlic, sautéed in some samneh (a type of clarified butter), and can also be enhanced with rice for added consistency. Kubbah in a creamy yogurt soup is enjoyed hot, usually topped with fresh mint and fried or toasted pine nuts. This specialty can be consumed as a main dish or an appetizer and is often part of the Iftar table.
