As the box says, Trader Joe's Kibbeh is a Middle Eastern-inspired stuffed meatball. Ground beef cooked with onions and other seasonings are enclosed in a bulghur shell and fried. When they get to you, you just throw them in the oven or airfryer.

Getting more whole grains in your diet is easier than ever with the wide availability of bulghur, quinoa, barley and spelt, but it's also easy to fall into a rut with the most basic preparations for these grains. My regular bulghur pilaf is pretty simple, relying on onion, crimini mushrooms and chicken stock for its flavor. That simplicity makes it a great side dish when your main, say baked chicken, has a more dominant flavor profile. But why should a side dish have to take a back seat?
