    Variations

    Tips and Tricks

    • After mixing all the ingredients and you feel that the lentil dip isn’t soft or smooth, add ¼ cup water at a time until over low heat and mix until you have a smooth consistency.
    • Lentils will soak up the olive oil, so drizzle it on the Kibbeh just before serving it.
