This is a wonderful and easy recipe. Very traditional in Egypt. Served over plain white rice. My grandmother, and mother... and all my aunties have been making this for decades. Hope you enjoy it as much as I do. Ingredients:
1 lb ground beef (you can use lamb, lean ground beef.. just what ever you have on hand) |
1/2 cup short-grain rice (egyptian rice if you can get your hands on it... but italian rice will do fine) |
1 egg |
1 teaspoon salt |
1 teaspoon black pepper |
1 teaspoon dried thyme (or za'taar) |
1 teaspoon dried coriander |
1 teaspoon dry cumin |
1 onion |
1 (28 ounce) can tomatoes |
1 tablespoon tomato paste |
1 teaspoon salt |
1 teaspoon pepper |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350°F.
2. Puree the sauce ingredients in blender/food processor.
3. Combine together together all the kofta ingredients in a large bowl.
4. Ball your kofta into 1.5 inch balls and place in a 9in x 9in oven safe pan.
5. Pour sauce over kofta and cook in oven for 45-60 minutes turning once.
