من قلب زغرتا: دق الكبة النية بالجرن تراث لبناني حي Traditional Kibbeh Nayyeh from Zgharta

Kibbeh Nayyeh the Traditional Way | A Taste of Zgharta’s Living Heritage Back in the day, Kibbeh Nayyeh—raw meat blended with fine bulgur and spices—was more than just a dish; it was a labor of love, a village ritual, and a source of pride. Prepared with passion and care, it was traditionally pounded by hand using the jorn (mortar) and mdeqqa (pestle), a method passed down through generations. Today in Zgharta, we visit Martha—a graceful woman who still honors this tradition. Join us on this flavorful journey into the heart of Lebanese heritage, where every motion, every ingredient, and every bite tells a story of authenticity and timeless craft. #KibbehNayyeh #LebaneseTradition #Zgharta #LebaneseCuisine #JuniperScents #HandcraftedHeritage
