Ingredients: 6 oz beef-grind quality lamb (very fresh, from a trusted butcher), finely minced; 3 tbsp pomegranate molasses; 2 tbsp white onion, finely minced; 1 tbsp fresh mint, finely minced; ½ tsp ground cumin; ¼ tsp ground coriander; ⅛ tsp cayenne pepper; ⅛ tsp black pepper; ¼ tsp salt; 3 tbsp bulgur (fine grind); 1 tbsp olive oil (for bulgur); ¼ cup pomegranate seeds; 2 tbsp fresh basil leaves; 1 tbsp fresh mint leaves; 2 tbsp olive oil (for herb oil); 1 tsp fresh lemon juice; 2 tsp sumac (for garnish)

Kibbeh nayye—traditional Lebanese raw-lamb dish—is reimagined as an elegant tartare presented in crispy bulgur cups. The tartare itself is finely minced raw lamb seasoned with pomegranate molasses and warming spices, balanced by bright pomegranate arils, sumac dust, and a basil-mint oil drizzled just before service.
