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.
