[1][2]Kubbeh, also known as kubbe, is a family of dishes of Iraqi Jewish, Iraqi and Assyrian[1] origin that are also popular in the Levant, 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 Assyrian communities, since the early 20th century the popularity of the dish has expanded to Israelis of all backgrounds. It is commonly served in restaurants across Israel, most notably in the Machane Yehuda market in Jerusalem.[3][4][5][6][7][8]
The term kubbeh is also used in some countries to refer to kibbeh, a type of paste made of bulgur and meat that is used in a variety of regional dishes.
Variations[edit]
- Kubbeh adomah ("red kubbeh" in Hebrew), semolina dumplings in a broth made with beets and tomato paste[9]
- Kubbeh hamusta ("Bulgur köftesi" in Turkish), semolina dumplings in a tart broth made with lemon juice or citric acid[10]
- Kubbeh noo’ah, sour kubbeh made with arum leaves[11]
- Kubbeh hamu ("yellow kubbeh"), made with turmeric[12]
