Dinner In A Hurry Middle Eastern Roll Up Recipes

15+ MIDDLE EASTERN GROUND BEEF RECIPES INCLUDING KAFTA KEBOB

Steps:

• Using a food processor, add the garlic, onions and parsley and process for a few seconds until finely chopped
• Add the mixture to the ground beef in a bowl, and add all the seasoning and olive oil. Mix well using your hands, then add the flour (see notes) and continue to mix until you form a dough (if dough does not feel firm, add slightly more flour)
• Form the Kafta into approximately 3-4 inch long pieces about 1 inch in thickness
• Heat up your BBQ or a grill pan on the stove and add a dash of olive oil (I recommend cast iron)
• Grill each Kafta for 2-3 minutes on each side (test a piece to ensure it is cooked to your liking) for a total of 6-8 minutes (see notes for baking)
• Serve with a yogurt tahini sauce (see Eggplant Fatteh for sauce recipe) over rice, salad, or in a wrap

ZA'ATAR PULL-APART ROLLS

Steps:

• Combine warm milk, yeast, and sugar in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Let stand until mixture is foamy, 5 to 10 minutes.
• Beat milk mixture on low speed. Add 1 cup flour, beating just until combined. Add melted butter, 2 tablespoons olive oil, and 1/2 cup flour; beat until combined. Beat in eggs. Add remaining 1 3/4 cups flour and salt. Beat until a soft, sticky dough forms.
• Spray a large bowl with cooking spray; add dough. Cover loosely and let rise until doubled in size, about 1 hour.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 12-cup muffin tin with cooking spray.
• Punch dough down gently. Pinch off 36 small pieces of dough and roll into balls.
• Whisk 6 tablespoons za'atar and 1/3 cup olive oil together in a bowl. Immerse dough balls in oil mixture to coat all sides. Arrange 3 dough balls in each muffin cup. Sprinkle remaining 2 tablespoons za'atar over dough.
• Cover muffin tin loosely with greased plastic wrap. Let rise until dough balls puff up over the rim of the tin, about 25 minutes.
• Bake in the preheated oven until puffed up and golden, about 25 minutes. Cool for 5 minutes in the pan. Lift out of the pan and cool briefly on a wire rack, about 5 minutes more.
