Kofte Tabrizi (Tabriz Style Meatballs) image

Kofte were first made in Imperial Persia from ground lamb and their name probably derives from the old Persian word koofteh. Now common from Spain to India due to the migration of recipes along the old trade routes. This recipe is modified for a western kitchen with the original recipe coming from the Northern Iran/Azerbaijan region.

Number Of Ingredients 15

2 lbs ground beef or 2 lbs ground lamb
3 medium onions, grated processed to mush
3/4 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon turmeric

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

  • Half-cook and half-smash the rice and the split peasAbout 12 hours before you want to cook this dish, leave the rice and the split peas n some water. Cook the split peas and the rice separately. They shouldn’t be cooked completely. Being half cooked is enough. Then use a masher to mash them. Once again, they don’t need to be completely mashed. Being half mashed is enough.
  • Prepare the sauceAs the mashed rice and split beans are cooling down, grate one onion and stir fry it using some oil and turmeric. When they get golden, add the tomato paste and stir fry it for a short while. Add 4 to 5 cups water. The mixture should boil for a short time. After that lower the flame of the gas burner and leave the mixture on the gas burner.
  • Mix the ingredients Grate one onion and remove its extra juice. Knead the onion, meat, salt, pepper and turmeric for about 5 minutes. They must be completely blended. Add the half cooked rice and split beans. The mixture should be blended for 5 more minutes. Add the vegetables and continue kneading. Finally add the eggs and knead the mixture again, and again, and again. It’s important that ingredients be completely blended. If not, the Koofteh might fall apart while cooking.
  • Make rounded meatballsMake a big meatball. Put some walnut, barberries or plums in the middle of the meatball. Put the meatball in the pot which contains the sauce. Continue making the meatballs and put them all in the sauce. The level of the sauce is better to be higher than the meatballs, but it’s not necessary. Since the Koufteh must cook gradually, the flame of the gas burner must be low. Leave them in the pot for about an hour. The pot must behalf covered with its lid. After 30 minutes move and turn the meatballs.
