ARMENIAN KUFTA



Armenian Kufta image

This would be categorized as a 'stuffed' meatball! It's a recipe that cousin Debbie, sister Diane and I worked on this winter, trying to replicate our grandmother's kufta. It's been many many years since we've had this, and I think we have it down pretty well. It can be made as a side dish or a main dish soup, by adding pasta and vegetables to the broth when you add the meatballs.

Time 1h15m

Yield 20 meatballs, 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 1/2 lbs ground lamb or 1 1/2 lbs beef
2 cups cracked wheat, fine ground
1 small onion, minced
1 tablespoon parsley, minced
2 teaspoons salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 lb ground lamb or 1 lb beef
1 large onion, chopped
1/2 cup parsley, chopped
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
2 quarts broth, beef or 2 quarts chicken

Steps:

  • For the outside shell, mix 1-1/2 lbs. ground lamb, bulghur, onion, salt, pepper and parsley together with 1 cup of water. Knead until it becomes cohesive and dough like.
  • Set aside and brown 1 lb lamb with large chopped onion until meat is cooked. Add parsley, salt and pepper and cool.
  • In the meantime, roll outside shell mixture into balls the size of a small egg. Use a bowl of ice water to keep mixture from sticking to your hands. Shape into cups by inserting your thumb into ball and rotating in your opposite hand until you form a thin shell. Keep wetting your hands in the ice water to keep shell from cracking.
  • Fill shell with cooked meat mixture, about 1 tablespoon, close shell, wetting hands with ice water, and seal opening.
  • Set aside on a sheet pan, continue to roll balls. Place tray in refrigerator to chill.
  • Boil 2 quarts of broth, add pasta and vegetables. Add meatballs and cook them 10 minutes or until they rise to the top.
  • Sometimes served with yogurt on the side.

ARMENIAN CHE KUFTA (RAW LAMB PATTIES)



Armenian Che Kufta (Raw Lamb Patties) image

Also known as 'kibbe', this is a Middle Eastern raw lamb appetizer. Should be served same day as meat is ground, so it's advantagous to grind meat at home, if possible. Ratio of ingredients are flexible so you can use more or less to taste.

ARMENIAN STEAK TARTARE (CHEE KUFTA)



Armenian Steak Tartare (Chee Kufta) image

This is a mouth watering awesome Armenian style steak tartare called Chee kufta by my Aunt Sophie. She made this for me special when I was visiting her, which was very often! It's important to use very, very lean beef and make sure you have the butcher ground it very fine, twice. Knead it as recipe says to: 5 minutes! No, you won't get sick if you prepare it correctly!
