This is an old Baghdadi recipe, where the kibbeh crust can be prepared with rice or bulgur. In the original recipe, Iraqi amber rice — highly prized but rarely exported — is used, making for a highly aromatic kibbeh. But this recipe can be made with nearly any rice available. The finished product may remind you of Japanese onigiri or Sicillian arancini. Serve with lentil soup and salad.
