Kubba is how "Kibbe" is pronounced in Iraqi dialect. In Mosul, they make their kibbe with bulgur, because of the wheat fields that surround the city. They also pride themselves on making the large flat versions of kubba. We made ours in a large cake tin, not quite as big as the real Mosuli version, but big enough for a family-style dinner. It is perfect for Spring with asparagus, chicken, and pinenuts.
