Who loves Kubba? Eating and cooking

[gestalt768]

Does anyone have a recipe with a vegetarian kubeh for kubeh soup? There used to be a place in Jerusalem next to brichat yerushalim that served a fabulous veggie kubeh soup and I 'd love to recreate...

what kind of vegetable soup was it?

My relatives who have a catering business simply replace the meat filling with either mushrooms/fried onions or tofu. This is

not traditional but probably also very tasty. They make the shell using semolina only, without meat as a binder.

You will have to create a richer vegetable soup than usual for more flavor.

I have made some vegetarian kibbeh from a recipe book called "Spice" by the chef of a restaurant called Oleana in the U.S.

It uses pureed pumpkin/squash in the shell, combined with bulgur. The filling was feta cheese, mixed with spices and herbs. It is nice and flavourful, but the cheese is probably a bit intense if you eat a few of them. It would be nice used alongside something else in the filling.

I don't know if they would work well in a soup... I baked them (they would be great fried, too).
