Although Kibbeh is traditionally a meat dish. The diet around the Mediterranean and  specifically Lebanese food has lots of vegetarian variety. Tomato Kibbeh sometimes called vegetarian Kibbeh is one of these dishes.  I don’t know the origin of this dish but I have a feeling Tomato Kibbe is recipe most likely the product of a need to cut meat during Lent. The availability of Bulgur and abundance of herbs and natural resources made it easy transition from meat to vegetarian kibbeh.
