"Meatballs" (كفتة داوود باشا )

Our recipe today is about Meatballs كفتة داوود باشا .
In the Middle East we do it a little bit different than other cuisines.
It can be eaten as an appetizer, or as a main dish if served with sauce.






Ingredients needed:

1/2 kg (1 lb) minced meat.
5 crushed garlic cloves.
1 tbsp of rice powder.
1/2 minced onion.
Salt, pepper and 1 tsp of cumin.


Directions:
  1. Mix well all previous ingredients together.
  2. Then make into small balls.
  3. You can cook it in a steaming covered casserole.
  4. Remove when fully cooked and fry in heated oil for just 1 minute.
It makes about 25 pieces.
If you want to serve it as an appetizer, you are ready now. But if you want to serve it as a main dish, you have to prepare its sauce!


Sauce Directions:
  • Fry 1/2 minced onion in some oil in a sauce pan. (not too much oil)
  • Add 4 tbsp tomato paste and then add some water until it is dissolved and is still thick in the same time.
  • Season the sauce with salt and pepper.
  • Add the meatballs to the sauce and heat all together for a few minutes.

Enjoy a lovely double recipe!!
