This is one of the delicious vegetarian and vegan dish you will ever eat. This is a Middle Eastern dish. I adapted it from Najatskitchen but I made some adjustments and additions to her recipe and made it my own way I really thank her for this amazing dish.

Ingredients

1 cup fine brughul washed and drained
1/2 cup semolina
1/4 cup grated onion
1/4 tsp salt or to taste
1/4 tsp cumin powder
1/4 tsp coriander powder
1/4 tsp cinnamon
1/4 tsp white or black black pepper
1/2 tsp marjoram
1 cup pumpkin purée

Add all the ingredients together and mix well then knead the dough as you would knead any bread dough. If the dough is stiff just add a little of water like 1/8 cup. The fought should be soft.

The filling :

1 cup chopped onion
2 cups chopped Swiss chard stem part or leave part or all together ( I had only stem )
1/2-3/4 cup cooked chickpeas ( I used the can one). Remove the skin.
1/2 cup chopped walnuts
1/4 cup chopped flat parsley
1/4 tsp black pepper
1/2-1 tsp 7 spices
1-2 tbsp sumac
Salt to taste. Be careful not to add a lot because smuc contains salt too.

Steps:

1-Heat about 3 tbsp oil in a medium pan and over a medium heat, add onion and cook a little then add chopped Swiss chard and cook for a few more minutes or until the onion and Swiss chard are soft.
2-Add chickpeas, parsley and walnuts and cook for a couple of minutes.
3-Add black pepper and 7 spices and cook for one minutes then add sumac and mix well. Check for the salt then turn the heat off.

How to make the kubeh/ kuba

1-Brush a small baking pan about 5×7 inch.
With generous amount of vegetable oil or any oil.
2-Open and level half of the dough amount as first layer.
3-Distribute the filling equally on top of the first layer of the dough then drizzle a little of olive oil or any oil on top.
4-Open and level the second amount of the dough on top of the filling.
5-Brush the top with generous amount of vegetable oil or olive oil or any oil you like.
6-Cut into any shape you like. I top the squares with pumpkin seeds.
7-Bake at 400 F for about 45 minutes or until it is brown from the side and top.
