My last restaurant experience with Kibbehs had them serve them to make… frozen in the middle! UGH!!! To say it was disappointing… wasn’t even the half of it… so I was like… how much worse could the TJ’s one be?!?
Actually… the TJ ones were quite good. They were meaty than other frozen ones I’ve tried and the interior was quite flavorful. It’s not as good as the Kibbehs in my favorite place, Open Sesame, but with pickled onions, they certainly hit the spot.
The main disappointment with them is that I think the cooking instructions are a little off. I baked up a whole box, so I didn’t have any more to experiment. Next time I would increase the temperature in hopes for a crisper crust. of course, if you have an Air Fryer, I imagine that would truly be ideal.
I bought some as well (I’m heating up some more for lunch as I write this)— and thought they were pretty tasty for frozen. I cooked them at a slightly higher temp and for longer. They’re a little dry, but some tzadiki solved that! I had it as a sandwich w/ pita, tomato, olives, pepperocini and it was pretty good. I’d def get again
YES! I’m picky about Frozen Food as I worked in the industry and know what is and ISN’T possible… but for convenience, there is always going to be trade offs. Thanks for reporting back on the higher and longer experiment… I can see how this would make lovely Pita Sandwich! Kinda like Meaty Falafel!
Any favorite rice varieties at Trader Joe’s? My go-to has been the Brown Rice Medley because it was one of the few kinds that I could successfully cook, but now I have a rice cooker!
I don’t know if this has been covered but I bought it yesterday and it’s quite good. The coffee flavor is spot on and the boba gives it a unique and interesting texture.
NAH on the vegan caramelized onion dip. It has a weird, sweet taste, with a thick, dense texture. No resemblance at all to their non-vegan version. I was hoping to find a comparable product to the non-vegan version or the Kite Hill French onion dip, but this was definitely not good. Ended u tossing it.
