1/2 cup tomato juice

4 tablespoons vegetable oil
6 onions, thinly sliced
4 cups water

KIFTE (UZBEKI-JEWISH MEATBALLS)

Kifte (Uzbeki-Jewish meatballs) image

This is adapted from a Sephardic Jewish recipe I found in Copeland Marks's "Sephardic Cooking." It is found in the Jewish communities in modern Uzbekistan. You may want to experiment with garlic, leeks, and the like in place of or in addition to the onion, or with ground chicken or ground veal.
