7. MINCED MEAT BALLS A LA HARPOOT.
KHARPOUT KEOFTEH.
Ingredients:
Meat...2 pounds, fat, of mutton or lamb, ground.
*Boulghour--"Cracked Wheat"..........1/2 cupful.
Parsley ............................... 1 bunch.
Butter ....................... 2 tablespoonfuls.
Dry Onions...................... 5 to 6, medium.
Tomatoes...... 2, ripe (or 3 to 4 tablespoonfuls of canned tomatoes).
Salt and pepper, to taste.
Method:
First of all, prepare the following stuffing:
Chop fine the onions and the parsley, and with one little portion of the ground
meat fry in the butter, until the onions become light brown.
This ready, take the remainder of the ground meat and make a batter of it by
mixing it well with the "cracked wheat"--Boulghour. Then divide this mixture
into egg-sized pieces, round them in the palm of your hand, flatten very thin in
a concave form, and place in each one tablespoonful of the above fried mixture,
then bring together the edges, thus enclosing the stuffing securely.
