Kubbeh
Kubbeh, also known as kubbe, is a family of dishes Iraqi and Kurdish Jewish origin that are popular in Israel, and are traditionally served for Shabbat and other holidays; and consist of a filled dumpling soup, with a wide array of fillings and soup broths. Once almost exclusively made at home by members of the Iraqi and Kurdish Jewish community, since the early 20th century the popularity of the dish has expanded to Israelis of all backgrounds and is commonly served in restaurants across the nation, most notably in the Machane Yehuda market in Jerusalem.
A different Kubbeh served in the Levant of Lebanon, Israel, Palestine, Jordan and Syria consists of the same concept but using burghol instead of semolina and no soup base. It is a paste of meat and bulger that is filled with fried meat, onion and pine nuts. It is also called Kubbeh, and if served in a soup it is usually called Kubbeh bil laban, meaning kubbeh in salty yogurt.
