KIBBEH BI LABAN

Prepare one recipe of Kibbeh 'Qrass Mashwieh and one of cooked laban. Form kibbeh into 18 balls the size of an egg. Boil one cup of rice until tender. Combine meat balls, rice, laban and half teaspoon each of crushed garlic, salt and dried mint which have been fried lightly in samneh. Simmer gently first on medium fire and later on a low fire as the sauce thickens. Add salt to taste. Serve with rice. Serves 6.
