Ramadan Kofta
Ingredients
- 1 lb. lean ground beef (less than 10% fat)
- 2 medium onions, finely chopped
- 3 Tablespoons flour
- 1 cup oil for frying
- 5 eggs
- ½ cup parsley, finely chopped
- 2 Tablespoons rice
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- Allspice (Optional)
Method
- Sauté the onions and 2/3 of the ground beef in 1 tablespoon of oil for five minutes.
- Boil the rice in one cup water until very soft; drain. Remove the ground beef from heat and pour into a mixing bowl.
- Add the remaining ground beef, cooked rice, parsley, salt, pepper, and three eggs. Mix with your hands and knead the ingredients well.
- Moistening your hands with a bit of water, take egg-sized pieces of the kufta mixture and form into 1-1/2 inch meatballs.
- Preheat oil over medium heat in a large, heavy bottom frying pan. Place the flour on a plate and dredge the kufta in flour.
- Beat remaining two eggs and roll the flour-covered kufta in the egg mixture.
- Fry the meatballs about six minutes, until they are golden brown on all sides.
- Remove to a plate lined with paper towels. Serve with rice, French fries, and green salad.
